## Description

One tap turns a photo into a chart. Full-coverage charts up to 1000×1000 stay smooth. Edit in layers. Design free; unlock exports once — no subscription. Fully offline.

Turn a photo into a chart you can stitch in seconds. Or skip the photo and start from a blank grid, one stitch at a time.

Fully offline. No account, no data collected. Designing and editing are free forever; exports unlock with a single one-time purchase — never a subscription.

PHOTO TO CHART
• Any photo from your library becomes a chart in seconds
• Crop and straighten first — built-in perspective correction fixes photos shot at an angle
• Set stitch count and colour count (up to 100) with a live preview
• Every colour lands on a real DMC or Anchor thread number, so you can shop straight from the list

EVERY STITCH TYPE
Full, half, 3/4, 1/4, petite, backstitch, French knots and beads — fractional stitches and knots can all be drawn, undone and exported, not just full crosses.

BIG FULL-COVERAGE CHARTS STAY SMOOTH
Charts up to 1000×1000 stitches pan, zoom and draw without lag, with full undo and redo behind you.

DESIGN IN LAYERS
Up to 10 layers — tap a thumbnail to stitch on that one, and the others stay untouched. Rename, reorder, merge, hide. Your source photo can sit underneath as a tracing guide.

A FULL EDITOR
• Pencil, paint bucket, eraser, eyedropper, shapes, text
• The paint bucket takes any stitch — fill or erase whole areas of fractional stitches too
• Five brush and eraser sizes, so large areas go down in one pass
• Backstitch can trace the outline of a colour block automatically, instead of segment by segment
• Select any area to move, copy, mirror it — or rotate it to any angle and scale it proportionally
• Resize the canvas whenever you like; you don't have to commit to a size up front

COLOURS BY THREAD NUMBER
• Built-in DMC and Anchor charts, plus your own custom colours
• Blend up to 4 threads, with strand count set per colour
• Stitch thickness follows the strand count — what you see is what you export
• Every colour gets its own symbol, swap it whenever you like
• Save favourite palettes as presets and reuse them

THREE WAYS TO VIEW
Flat blocks for the whole picture, realistic crosses for the look, black-and-white symbols to stitch from.

IMPORT AND EXPORT
• Open patterns you already have: OXS, Pattern Maker (.xsd), PCStitch (.pat)
• Export a print-ready PDF: cover, symbol chart, floss list with how much thread to buy
• Also exports OXS, PNG and .sduck project files

EIGHT INTERFACE LANGUAGES
English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish and Russian — follows your system language, switchable in Settings, and exported PDFs follow along.

HOW FREE IS FREE
Converting, designing and editing are all free, with room for 3 saved patterns. Unlock every export format and unlimited patterns with a single one-time purchase — not a subscription. Universal across iPhone, iPad and Mac: buy once, unlocked everywhere.

Family photos, pets, your own pixel art — whatever you want to stitch, chart it in StitchDuck first.
