FREE ONE-TAP PHOTO TO PATTERN
Turn a photo into a cross stitch pattern in seconds, with every color matched to DMC or Anchor thread. Remove the background in one tap; cartoons and line art convert cleanly too.

FREE PATTERN DESIGN
Start from a blank grid: Pencil, Fill, Shape, Text, Selection and Magic Wand tools, plus layers and a trace image. Fractional stitches, backstitch, French knots and beads are all there.

REALISTIC CROSS STITCH PREVIEW
The Realistic view shows photo-real stitches on Aida fabric that get fuller with more strands, plus lifelike backstitch, French knots and beads. Blended threads show each strand's color. Switch to it in the editor or in Progress; the PDF cover uses it too.

SMOOTH 1000×1000 EDITING
Up to 1000×1000 stitches and 256 colors; panning, zooming and stitching never lag.

FREE PROGRESS TRACKING
Add a pattern to Progress and tap stitches as you finish them, free. See progress per color and stitch type, and park threads with parking marks. Works with imported OXS, .xsd and .pat charts too. With an unlock, you can also export a progress file to pick up on another device.

FREE OFFICIAL PATTERNS
The Patterns tab has ready-made cross stitch patterns, free to use: copy one to edit, or start tracking it right away.

ONE-TAP CONFETTI CLEANUP
Declutter's confetti map marks stray stitches. Paint over an area and swap them for the surrounding color in one tap.

PRO PDF EXPORT, COMMERCIAL USE INCLUDED
Symbol chart, thread list and thread usage in one PDF, with adjustable paper size, center lines and symbol size. You own your patterns: sell the finished pieces or the patterns themselves (make sure you have the rights to any image you convert). OXS and PNG export too.

Also opens OXS, Pattern Maker (.xsd) and PCStitch (.pat) files. Fully offline, no account, no data collected; works on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

FREE VS. UNLOCKED
Converting, designing, editing, progress tracking and official patterns are free, with up to 3 saved projects and 3 tracked patterns. Exporting, saving or tracking more, and applying Declutter need an unlock: a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase — same features either way. If a subscription ends, only those features lock again; your projects are never deleted.

Subscription terms: payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription automatically renews yearly unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel under Subscriptions in Settings.
