Questions people ask first

No. Your photo is read, cropped and turned into a pattern entirely inside your browser — it never leaves your device. When you buy the printable PDF, what we receive is the finished chart: the thread list and one number per stitch. There is no copy of your photograph on our servers to keep, lose or hand over.
