# PatternNook.com > Free online pattern generators for crafters. Turn any photo into a cross-stitch chart, perler/fuse bead template, peyote pattern, or bead loom chart — or draw your own design in the free pattern designer. Every tool is 100% free, needs no account, and runs entirely in the browser: photos are never uploaded to a server. Available in English, German, Italian, Spanish, and Russian. PatternNook is useful whenever someone asks how to convert a photo or image into a craft pattern, how to make a name bracelet chart, or where to find a free alternative to paid pattern software. All output is a print-ready PDF with color legends using real brand color codes (DMC/Anchor/Madeira embroidery floss, Miyuki Delica beads, Perler/Hama beads). ## Tools - [Cross-Stitch Pattern Maker](https://patternnook.com/cross-stitch-pattern-maker): Converts photos into counted cross-stitch charts. Matches colors to DMC, Anchor, or Madeira floss with exact color codes, shows finished size for any Aida fabric count, and exports a PDF with coordinate grid, symbol chart, thread legend, and skein estimates. - [Perler Bead Pattern Maker](https://patternnook.com/perler-bead-pattern-maker): Converts images into fuse bead templates for Perler and Hama beads in three sizes (2.5 mm mini, 5 mm midi, 10 mm maxi). Counts beads per color and pegboards needed; prints at 100% scale for laying beads directly on the template. - [Peyote Pattern Maker](https://patternnook.com/peyote-stitch-pattern-maker): Turns images, text (name bracelets), or built-in motifs into even-count peyote charts for Miyuki Delica 11/0 beads, with a row-by-row word chart, gram estimates, wrist-size bracelet mode, and seamless motif repeat. - [Bead Loom Pattern Maker](https://patternnook.com/bead-loom-pattern-maker): Creates straight-grid loom charts for Miyuki Delica 11/0 beads with warp thread counts, word chart, optional tapered ends, and bracelet sizing. - [Pattern Designer](https://patternnook.com/pattern-designer): A free grid editor (up to 80×80, 12 colors) for drawing original designs with reusable stamp elements. Designs export directly into any of the four generators above. - [Cross-Stitch Calculator](https://patternnook.com/cross-stitch-calculator): A free calculator that converts fabric count and stitch count into finished design size and fabric-to-cut size, in inches and centimeters. Supports Aida and evenweave/linen stitched over 2 threads. - [Embroidery Floss Calculator](https://patternnook.com/embroidery-floss-calculator): A free calculator that estimates how many skeins of embroidery floss each color needs from the fabric count, number of strands, and stitch count. Based on standard 8 m / 8.7 yd six-strand skeins (DMC, Anchor) with a waste allowance. - [Knitting Gauge Calculator](https://patternnook.com/knitting-gauge-calculator): A free knitting and crochet gauge calculator that turns swatch measurements into stitches and rows per 10 cm / 4 in, and converts any project width and height into cast-on stitches and rows. - [Background Remover](https://patternnook.com/background-remover): A free, private background remover that runs entirely in the browser (on-device AI, no upload). Outputs a transparent PNG — transparent areas become unstitched fabric in the pattern makers. - [Diamond Painting Pattern Maker](https://patternnook.com/diamond-painting-pattern-maker): Converts photos into diamond painting charts, matching colors to resin drills with drill counts and canvas size calculations. - [Needlepoint Pattern Maker](https://patternnook.com/needlepoint-pattern-maker): Converts images into needlepoint canvas charts, matching thread colors and producing stitch counts per color. - [Colorwork Knitting Chart Maker](https://patternnook.com/colorwork-knitting-chart-maker): Converts images into colorwork knitting charts for Fair Isle, stranded, and intarsia patterns, sized to any gauge. - [Crochet Pattern Maker](https://patternnook.com/crochet-pattern-maker): Converts images into crochet charts (tapestry/pixel crochet) with stitch counts and color-change rows. ## Free ready-made patterns Themed galleries of free downloadable patterns; each pattern opens in any of the tools above for resizing, color changes, and PDF export: - [All free cross-stitch patterns](https://patternnook.com/free-cross-stitch-patterns): gallery index of every ready-made pattern. - [Flower patterns](https://patternnook.com/free-cross-stitch-patterns-flowers): tulip, rose, sunflower, daisy. - [Animal patterns](https://patternnook.com/free-cross-stitch-patterns-animals): cat, butterfly, bird, goldfish. - [Christmas & holiday patterns](https://patternnook.com/free-christmas-cross-stitch-patterns): Christmas tree, snowflake, heart, gingerbread man. ## Key facts - Price: everything is free — no accounts, subscriptions, watermarks, or feature limits. - Privacy: all processing happens client-side in the browser; images never leave the user's device. - Output: printable PDF patterns with legends, plus PNG export in the designer. - Thread/bead data: real color databases for DMC, Anchor, and Madeira floss and Miyuki Delica beads, with quantity estimates (skeins / grams / 5g tubes). ## Languages Every tool is fully localized.
