# Xstitchify

> Xstitchify is a free, browser-based cross stitch pattern making tool. Upload a photo to generate a stitchable chart, type any text into a pattern, design QR code patterns, or draw from scratch in a full canvas editor. Works on iPad (with Apple Pencil), iPhone, Android, and desktop - no app download. Output is print-ready PDF with automatic DMC thread matching.

Xstitchify is run by an independent stitcher-developer. Pattern generation runs in the browser; saved patterns, accounts, and downloads are hosted on xstitchify.com. The free plan allows 3 pattern generations; the paid plan removes the limit.
