Count & Canvas

Count & Canvas is a warm, all-in-one studio for needlepoint and counted cross-stitch — design your own charts, plan your floss, and track every stitch, all on your device and all offline.

Whether you're charting a keepsake sampler, converting a favorite photo into a stitchable pattern, or just working out how much thread to buy, Count & Canvas keeps the whole process in one calm, uncluttered place.

DESIGN YOUR OWN CHARTS • A full chart designer with pencil, line, rectangle, fill, and eraser tools • Switch between a painted "needlepoint" look and a symbol chart for counted work • Build palettes from real DMC colors, or generate a palette from a single shade • Add frames, borders, backgrounds, monograms, and clip-art motifs • Layers, undo/redo, and a "check stitchability" helper that flags tricky diagonals

PHOTO → PATTERN • Import any photo and turn it into a stitchable chart • Choose your color count and let smart options boost contrast, keep edges crisp, dither gradients, and clean up stray pixels • Great for pets, flowers, landscapes, and portraits

COUNT EVERYTHING • Live thread list with per-color stitch counts, yardage estimates, and skein totals — your shopping list, done • Canvas & yardage calculator for any design size, mesh count, and margin • Stitch tracker with progress, "mark all," and fade-completed so you always know where you left off • Stash check matches a pattern against the floss you already own

SEE IT TRUE-SIZE • "Actual size" preview shows your finished piece at real dimensions • Stitched-look rendering previews how the tent stitches will read on canvas

PRINT & EXPORT • Print true-size charts, symbol charts, and a full project packet • Export your pattern as a file, SVG, true-size PNG, or Cricut-ready outline via the share sheet

YOURS, AND PRIVATE • Works completely offline — no account, no sign-up • Your projects and stash stay saved on your device; nothing is collected or uploaded

Made for stitchers, one thread at a time.
