You upload the photo you love. You get back the dog, plus the couch, the rug and the wall, in dozens of colors, with lone single stitches scattered everywhere.
So you spend the evening fixing it square by square. Or you pay someone on Etsy and wait for one pattern.
What it does
Pick a photo.
Your dog on the sofa, your parents' wedding photo, the house you grew up in.
Tap “Remove background”.
People, dogs, cats, birds, horses and vehicles stay. Everything else becomes plain fabric.
Choose your size and colors.
Pick how many stitches wide and your fabric count, and see the finished size. Slide anywhere from 4 to 40 colors. Every color is matched to a DMC floss number. For C2C, colors match Red Heart Super Saver shades.
Print the pattern.
StitchMyPhoto merges lone single stitches into their neighbors, so you're not changing thread every square. Then download the PDF.

Questions
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and keep it.
What happens after I pay?
You get a license key on screen and by email. Open the link in the email and the full version unlocks in the app. No account to create.
Do I need to know how to cross-stitch or crochet?
Yes. StitchMyPhoto makes the pattern and the thread list. The stitching is yours.
Will it work with my photo?
It works best when the photo has a clear subject: a person, dog, cat, bird, horse or vehicle. If it can't find one, the background stays and you still get a pattern. The app checks your photo and tells you if it's too small, dark or blurry. You can try it free before you buy.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser, on your device.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes. Open the link from your email on each phone, tablet or computer you use.
Can I sell what I make?
You can stitch, gift and sell the finished pieces you make. The PDF patterns themselves are for your own use, so please don't sell or share them.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Email us within 14 days of buying and we'll refund you in full. See the refund policy.
