You plug in your images, you get a PDF done with thread spaces counted and colors all pixelated for you... all colors needed assigned a name/number so you can find it in your hobby store. It's all CC too...

---From the site:---

Upload an image or enter the URL for an image to create a cross stitch chart. The image will be interpreted as "1 pixel = 1 cross stitch". It is STRONGLY recommended that you edit the image to an appropriate size and number of colors using an image editing tool such as Paint or Photoshop. The cross stitch chart will be delivered in PDF format. You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it. You can get the Adobe Acrobat Reader here. Hint: smaller images make better cross stitch charts. The maximum image size is calculated by multiplying the width by the height which must be less than 140000 pixels and a file size less than 2048000 bytes. Acceptable file formats are .gif, .jpg, .jpeg and .png.
