String Art Maker: Photo to Pattern, Numbered Nails

Turn a photo into a string art pattern: one long thread wound in straight lines between numbered nails around a frame.

Photo to pattern in three steps
1. Upload, drop or paste a photo (or start from an example).
2. Pick a frame: circle, square, rectangle or oval, any size in cm or inches. Or press "Find best settings" and it tries nail counts, line counts and thread colours for you.
3. Watch the lines appear, then take your pattern with you.

What you get
• A printable nail template at full size, tiled across US Letter or A4 pages. Every nail is numbered, starting from nail 0 at the middle of the right side, with a scale bar to check the print size.
• The winding order, step by step, in the printed guide and as a plain text file with one nail number per line.
• A shopping list with DMC thread colours and lengths.
• A high-resolution PNG of the result.
The guide prints straight from your browser.

Free, no account. Your photo stays on your device and is never uploaded. Works offline too: download, unzip and open index.html.
