How it works
Three steps to a finished chart
Upload a photo
Drag in a pet, portrait, logo or clip-art.
Tune the preset
Pick Drawing, Photo or Portrait - or open the sliders.
Stitch it
Export a clean PDF chart with legend and thread list.
Smart cleanup
No confetti. Just stitches you can follow.
A plain converter quantises pixels and leaves single stray stitches in dozens of near-identical shades. Stitcherry merges what the eye reads as one colour and clears the strays, so every stitch on the chart is one you would actually sew.
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.
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.
How is this different from a plain colour-reducing converter?
Naive converters just quantise pixels, leaving confetti of single stitches and dozens of near-identical colours. Stitcherry cleans the image, merges perceptually-close threads, boosts contrast and adds backstitch - so the result is genuinely stitchable.
Which threads does it use?
Every colour is mapped to the standard DMC floss palette, so you can buy exactly what the legend lists.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Generating, editing and previewing cost nothing, and a free account saves three charts a month with a watermarked PDF up to 180 stitches wide. Credits remove the watermark and the width limit.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The editor runs in your browser - nothing to download or install, on desktop or phone.
Can I edit the generated chart?
Absolutely - the web editor has brush, eraser, area fill, rectangle re-colour, backstitch tools, thread replacement and 50+ steps of undo.
