Turn photos into printable cross-stitch patterns with DMC colors, editable symbols, material estimates, and free PDF or PNG downloads—no signup required.
Upload an image, choose the chart size and color limit, then create a clean DMC-based pattern with a color preview, symbol chart, finished size, and material list. Preview color balance first, then open the symbol chart and material list for making. Click Create a pattern, upload a photo, and test a chart without creating an account. Colors are matched to DMC floss codes so the chart can become a real shopping list. Color limits and speckle cleanup help reduce noisy isolated stitches in photo-based charts. Try portraits, pets, logos, flowers, line art, or simple illustrations to find a stitchable composition.

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
