Turn any photo into a needlepoint pattern

Upload a photo and StitchStash converts it into a stitch-ready chart with a matched thread palette, a stitched preview, and a printable PDF.

How it works

1

Upload a photo

A pet, a portrait, a favorite snapshot — anything with enough contrast to chart works.

2

Get a thread-matched chart

StitchStash builds a stitch-ready grid, matches every color to real DMC, Anchor, or Weeks Dye Works thread, and renders a stitched preview so you can see it before you sew it.

Download the printable PDF

A symbol-coded chart with per-color stitch counts and skein estimates, ready to take to your canvas.

See it in action
