How it works

Three steps to a finished chart

  1. 1

    Upload a photo

    Drag in a pet, portrait, logo or clip-art.

  2. 2

    Tune the preset

    Pick Drawing, Photo or Portrait — or open the sliders.

  3. 3

    Stitch it

    Export a clean PDF chart with legend and thread list.

Why Stitcherry

Built for real stitching, not just pixel art

Automatic generation you can trust, plus a full editor when you want to make it yours.

Smart cleanup

Noise, stray single stitches and muddy gradients are removed automatically so the chart is actually stitchable.

Real DMC threads

Colours are matched to the DMC floss palette with perceptual ΔE merging — no impossible-to-buy shades.

Backstitch outlines

Crisp backstitch is generated along edges to bring definition to faces, text and fine detail.

Full desktop editor

Brush, eraser, fill, rectangle re-colour, thread replace, undo history — serious touch-ups with a mouse.

Print-ready PDF

Colour or black-and-white charts with a legend, symbols and stitch counts, ready to print.

Progress Mode in the app

Start on the web, track stitched rows on the go — your account and charts sync with the mobile app.
