Stitchmate is a browser-based cross-stitch studio that converts photos into clean, workable charts. Upload any image and adjust size, colors, and thread brand in real time—the canvas updates instantly as you experiment.

Quality you can measure

The built-in FLOW score predicts how satisfying a project will be before you pick up a needle—flagging confetti, color clustering issues, and shades too similar to tell apart. Projects scoring 85+ tend to be genuinely enjoyable; below 60 usually needs work.

Confetti reduction that works

One-click cleanup merges isolated cells into neighboring regions, or use the brush tool to fix specific areas without affecting intentional detail.

Accurate thread colors

Libraries for DMC, Anchor, Cosmo, Madeira, and JP Coats—sampled from manufacturer catalogs. Convert palettes between brands instantly. See estimated skein quantities for your shopping list.
