A few things you might wonder.
Can I make a pattern without an account?
Yes. Convert a photo or text and download a basic PNG or PDF without signing in. Larger patterns may require Pattern Pro credits or Creator Pro.
Does my photo leave my device?
Photo conversion runs locally in your browser. Choosing Save to my projects uploads the generated chart to your private cloud account; it does not upload the source photo.
How close are the DMC colors?
The converter matches to its built-in DMC reference palette. Screen colors and real thread can differ. Check physical thread before buying materials.
What will I get in the PDF?
An A4 cover, finished dimensions, DMC thread key, color and symbol charts with bold 10-by-10 grid lines, and overlapping chart pages for larger designs.
