What is Cross-Stitch Copilot?
Cross-Stitch Copilot is a cross-stitch pattern tracker for Mac, iPhone and iPad. It combines PDF and image chart reading, stitch marking, photo-to-pattern creation, progress tracking and DMC floss organization.
Can I use the PDF patterns I already own?
Yes. Import a PDF to read the original chart and mark finished areas. Individual cell tracking needs a configured, aligned grid. Review detected symbols and the color key; protected files and some chart layouts may not convert to exact stitch data.
Can I make a cross-stitch pattern from a photo?
Yes. Choose and crop a photo, adjust the chart size and color settings, then preview the pattern. The resulting chart uses cells with colors and symbols you can follow as you stitch.
Is Cross-Stitch Copilot free to download?
The app is free to download as of 4 November 2026. Check the App Store for current availability, in-app purchases and subscription information for your region.
Do I need an account?
