Frequently asked questions

Can I turn my own photo into a cross-stitch pattern?

Yes. Open the Cross Stitch Pattern Generator, add your photo, choose the size and number of colours, and download a printable chart with DMC thread colours.

Which file do I need for laser engraving?

Most laser software (LightBurn, LaserGRBL, xTool Creative Space) works with a dithered black-and-white PNG at the right size and DPI. The Photo to Laser Engraving tool makes exactly that.

Do the files work with Cricut and Silhouette?

Yes. Print Then Cut makes a PNG with a white border and an SVG cut line that you can upload to Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio.

What is a lithophane?

A thin 3D-printed panel that shows your photo when light shines through it. The Lithophane Maker turns a photo into an STL file for your 3D printer.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. All patterns and files are made in your browser on your own device.
