Upload a photo, crop, then tune colors and outlines for a stitchable chart. Cross-stitch converters work best with clear subjects, boosted contrast, and optional dark outlines (like backstitch) for edges — not speckled dithering.

1. Crop Image

Drag on the image to select a rectangle, then crop.


2. Pattern settings

These match what stitchers usually tweak: how many floss colors, how fine the stitch grid is, photo prep (contrast), and dark outlines for edges.

Fewer colors = easier to stitch. More = closer to the photo.

100

How many stitches across. Larger = more detail, longer project.

15

Higher contrast separates shapes and usually makes cleaner color blocks.

0
10

Slight saturation often helps DMC thread colors read better. For moons/gray photos, leave low.

55

Boosts local contrast (craters, eyes, fabric folds) before colors are chosen, so a 3–5 color chart can still show surface features instead of one flat shape.

45

Draws dark outline stitches (like backstitch) on detected edges. With few floss colors, use this for the moon rim and crater lines so fill colors stay simple. 0 = off.

1

Removes “confetti” — lonely single stitches that are tedious to sew. Higher = blockier, easier chart.
