Turn your pictures into cross stitch patterns
Upload a photo or drawing, choose the size and get a chart with symbols, DMC-compatible floss and skein estimates.
Why use Luan Patterns
- Your images never leave your device
- Everything is calculated in your browser. No need to create an account or upload photos to any server.
- Portraits that look like the person
- For photos it saves more shades for skin and blends stitches of nearby colors so the face doesn't come out blotchy.
- Made for beginners
- You choose the size and it suggests the fabric and colors, explaining each option. You can change anything it suggests.
- Line drawings and silhouettes
- It keeps fine lines and uses few threads: a black drawing comes out in a single color.
- Threads and skeins calculated
- Each color becomes the closest DMC-compatible thread, with the number of stitches and skeins.
- A print-ready PDF
- Cover, page map, floss legend and the chart split into sheets with symbols and numbering.
On-screen colors are approximate: compare them with real skeins before stitching.
