Hooping

Photo to pattern

A stitch chart or a color-by-number — from the same photo.

Stitch mode makes a counted cross-stitch (or C2C) chart. Paint mode makes a numbered page you fill in, like a store-bought color-by-number. Preview is free.

Linen, hoop, and cotton floss on a wooden table

Stitch on Aida or linen. Paint the same picture by number.

How it works

  1. 01

    Load a photo

    Drop any picture. Portraits, botanicals, and pets convert cleanly.

  2. 02

    Choose Stitch or Paint

    Stitch = X’s on fabric. Paint = a page of numbered shapes you fill with real paint.

  3. 03

    Keep it simple

    Fewer colors and fewer tiny spots. Easier to stitch — and much easier to paint.

  4. 04

    Print the key

    Stitchers get a symbol chart. Painters get numbers 1, 2, 3… and a matching color list.
