More than a pattern converter

Why choose Stitch Companion?

Design, prepare, organise and complete your cross-stitch project in one place—from the first image to the final stitch.

Real thread colours

Match patterns against DMC, Anchor or COSMO shades and choose the brand you prefer.

Better source images

Crop, zoom and adjust exposure and white balance before creating your pattern.

Interactive stitch tracking

Zoom into your chart, highlight a thread colour and mark stitches complete on a phone or tablet.

Thread planning

Record threads you own, compare them with a pattern and build a shopping list for the rest.

Printable, zoomable patterns

Create charts with symbols and a complete thread key for printing or viewing on screen.

Creative starting points

Browse licensed images or create a size-aware AI image prompt designed for cross stitch.

Works in progress

Keep multiple projects, save your progress automatically and export a backup when needed.

Your choice of complexity

Set the pattern width and maximum colours without inventing unnecessary extra shading.
