Crochet Graph Generator from Photo

Turn a photo into a color-matched crochet graph in seconds. No sign-up. Free patterns up to 60 × 60 stitches.

Craft Overview: In the fiber arts community, crocheters often call the exact same blueprint a crochet chart, a graph, or a pixel grid. When worked as an afghan blanket, it is universally known as a graphgan (frequently spelled graphghan). Whether you work row-by-row in single crochet, block-by-block in Corner-to-Corner (C2C), or with carried yarn in tapestry crochet, this generator transforms any photo into a calibrated stitch map with yarn shade matching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start from a blank grid instead of uploading a photo?

Yes! Unlike older tools that force you into an image pipeline, you can click "Start from Blank Grid" to design square-by-square with our color palette directly in your browser.

Do I need an account or email to download my pattern?

No account, login, or email address is required. Patterns up to 60 × 60 stitches can be generated and exported to high-contrast printable PDF instantly.

Which yarn brands are supported?

GraphGan supports popular US acrylics and wools including Red Heart Super Saver, Lion Brand Wool-Ease/Basic Stitch, plus classic curated palettes with DMC cross-reference compatibility.

Does this work for C2C, tapestry crochet, and knitting?

Yes. GraphGan includes specific stitch ratio presets for Graphgans (1:1 square), C2C diagonal tiles, Tapestry tight colorwork, Filet open/solid mesh, and Knitting (4:5 non-square rectangular stitches).

Is my uploaded photo kept private?

100% private. All downsampling, color quantization, and canvas rendering happen entirely inside your web browser via client-side Web Workers. Your images are never sent or stored on any remote server.
