Not everyone wants to create such detailed pieces though.

Read more about why truly realistic mockups are importantĮagle cross-stitch work-in-progress, looking even better than the mockup! Here’s an example using an eagle image that my wife is currently stitching:įor comparison, here’s the realistic mockup and part-completed piece created using our system - it’s capable of far more detail as you can see in the beak and eye but obviously this would take more work to stitch: Be aware also that if you have large high-resolution photos they could be be multi-megabytes in size which could be consuming data if you’re on a mobile device like a phone or tablet (we only upload a smaller, resized image which is more efficient and saves bandwidth).Īs soon as you have uploaded the image, it’s processed by their system and a mockup image of the converted pattern is displayed along with some sizing and color options.

By contrast, our Thread-Bare Image to Pattern Converter runs completely in your browser while you work on the image and only uploads it to the server as part of the checkout / purchase process (we need the image at some point to create the PDF!). Many online conversion services such as pic2pat, StitchYourPhoto and others work this way and it’s what’s known as a ‘web 1.0’ style approach (posting data to a server for processing). Once you select an image it is uploaded to DMCs server. This makes sense because the site is simply a tool after all and there is no way for any person or system to really verify whether someone owns or has permission to chart any of the billions of images in existence or not. It’s worth noting that they follow the exact same model that every other service (including ours) also follows which is to put the onus of respecting copyright on you, the user. It starts with you selecting the image you want to convert by clicking the button on the webpage and selecting an image from your computer or device. So how does it work and how do you use it?
