you can also "paint" your own designs from scratch.
Upload your favorite photo—for example, of your pet or a beautiful
vacation memory—and transform it into a cross-stitch pattern with just a
few clicks!
The software supports approximately 447 colors from the DMC color
standard and additional thread manufacturers:

You can easily print the pattern yourself.
The template follows the familiar layout of cross-stitch patterns found in
books and craft kits.

needed.

and backstitch are supported!

Extensive Customization Options
You can reduce the number of colors as desired. In many cases, 40 to 60
colors are enough to create a stunning photorealistic image.
In the ADV and PRO versions of ORTMANN Cross Stitch Designer ©, you
can also edit the palette, for example, by limiting it to specific colors you
already have in stock. This ensures only the colors you own are used.
Printing with Endless Possibilities
The printing function has been specially enhanced for cross-stitch.
Countless combinations and settings are available. You can adjust the
size of the stitches in the printout, modify symbols, grids, rulers, legends,
and more.
The required thread lengths are calculated based on your specifications.
For more complex templates, you can even automatically generate
indexes, company information, and a complete embroidery booklet.
For personal use, the ADV version is typically more than sufficient to
meet the highest standards. :)
The PRO version offers great benefits for commercial users, such as
integrating your own logo, banners with social media information, and
printing additional informational pages.
You can print in any large format supported by your printer or driver,
export as a PDF using MS Print to PDF or other tools, and export as JPEG,
TIFF, and other pixel formats.
A Wizard to Guide You
A step-by-step wizard helps you convert photos quickly and efficiently,
saving time. Key adjustments such as the maximum number of colors,
stitch width and height, image size (in mm), contrast, and cropping can
be made immediately.
Manual Editing/Drawing
The ORTMANN Cross Stitch Designer © also includes extensive tools for
manual editing or for creating completely original designs.
You can replace colors, remove or recolor backgrounds, or add text to the
image.
Library/Palettes
A built-in library allows you to save and reuse image elements you
frequently use, such as hearts or stars, which can serve as borders or
patterns in your designs.
Multiple color palettes for all common techniques and colors are
included.
In the ADV and PRO versions, these palettes can also be modified and
expanded—or limited to the colors you already own or prefer.
