Stitchly: Cross stitch

Stitchly creates cross-stitch patterns from photos or drawing and tracks completed stitches.

Our take

Consider after checking a sample pattern and printable export

Thread palettes, fractional stitches and PDF output connect design with making.

Keep in mind: Photo conversion requires cleanup and color checking; a pattern purchase does not include thread, fabric or rights to use someone else's source image.

What you can do

  • Convert or trace an image
  • Edit stitches and thread choices
  • Export a PDF and mark stitching progress

Good for

  • Crafters creating their own reviewed patterns

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting physical materials or perfect automatic conversion

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • Photo conversion requires cleanup and color checking; a pattern purchase does not include thread, fabric or rights to use someone else's source image.

Privacy & permissions

Publisher states all processing and storage remain on-device with no third-party transmission; chosen PDF sharing still exposes the design to its recipient.
