Frequently Asked Questions
What types of patterns can I create?
You can create four styles: Filled Squares (pixel art), Circles (bead patterns), Cross-Stitch (X marks), and Numbered Grids (color-by-number). Each is suitable for different crafts.
How does color quantization work?
The tool uses a median-cut algorithm to reduce the image's colors to your chosen count (4–64). It finds the most representative colors to keep the pattern recognizable while being easy to follow.
What are the use cases?
Cross-stitch embroidery, knitting charts, crochet patterns, pixel art, mosaic design, bead art, diamond painting templates, and educational color-by-number activities.
Can I adjust the detail level?
Yes, the grid size slider controls the number of cells. Lower values (10–20) create simple patterns, while higher values (80–120) preserve more detail from the original image.
