Cross Stitch Pattern Maker Ixa

Ixa is a cross stitch pattern maker that turns your photo into a counted chart right on your phone. Pick a picture of your pet, your family or a place you love, and you get a pattern with real floss numbers, a skein list and a stitch tracker for every cross.

FROM PHOTO TO CROSS STITCH IN SECONDS
• Width from 20 to 300 stitches, 2 to 60 colors
• Shape: like the photo, square or round for a hoop
• Clean up single stray stitches in 4 steps, so you are not changing thread for one cross
• Leave the background empty, or keep soft color blends
• Preview as stitched, as chart or next to the photo, in every size before you decide

COLORS THAT MATCH YOUR THREAD
Ixa groups the colors of your photo the way the eye sees them and picks the closest thread from about 489 colors of the common DMC numbering. Every color in the key has its number and name, so you can buy the right floss.

A STITCH TRACKER THAT KEEPS UP
• Tap a stitch, drag along a row, long press to fill a 10 × 10 block
• Pick a color and all others dim, so you see only what you stitch next
• Undo any step, and the screen stays on while you work
• Your place is saved, pick up the chart where you stopped

FLOSS LIST WITH SKEINS
See how many skeins each color needs, with the formula explained, and mark each thread as "have" or "buy".

THE CHART IS YOURS
No account and no upload. The pattern is made on your phone, your photos stay on your phone. Save a backup file and move it to a new phone whenever you like. Charts work for counted cross stitch and for needlepoint on canvas.
