How it works
You open the file
A PDF from the seller, a scan of a printout or a photo of a magazine page.
The app reads the chart
The grid, the symbols and the thread numbers are read on your own device — the file goes nowhere.
You stitch and mark
A tap marks a stitch, progress counts itself, and your marks are saved even with no network.
The chart was not read — you stitch all the same
It opens as an underlay: the original page is shown as it is and your marks go on top of it. Counters, progress and sync work as usual — there is always a way through.
When this helps
A chart bought as a PDF, printed on ten sheets
It opens whole, in one piece: no more lining up the edges of the sheets on the table.
Your grandmother's magazine, pages crumbling
A photo of the spread opens as a chart — the magazine stays on the shelf, not in your bag.
Five projects started, three of them in boxes
They all sit in one list with progress for each; marks are not lost when you change device.
In the shop you forget which threads are short
The “What to buy” list is worked out from the chart and opens on your phone at the counter.
What is inside
PDFs, scans and photos open inside the app itself
No converters, no companion program on a computer.
- You open the file: a PDF, a scan or a photo of a chart.
- The app reads the grid, the symbols and the floss colors.
- You tap the stitches — progress counts itself.
Zoom that makes sense, one tap to mark
Zoom always in reach, every mark saved the moment you make it.
Picks up where you left off
Start on the phone, carry on with the tablet; what you bought stays yours.
Floss, shopping list and finish date
Usage for every color, what to buy and when you will finish.
Low-vision and color-blind modes
Large, high-contrast, and a symbol and floss number beside every color.
15 languages, 3 of them fully supported
Real right-to-left: Arabic, Persian and Hebrew.

On 13 August 2026 we checked the official Cross Stitch Saga help pages, its App Store listing and user reviews. What we could not confirm we do not attribute: those rows say “no data”. Spotted a mistake? Tell us and we will fix it.
Questions people ask
What if the chart is not recognized?
You keep stitching. If the grid or the symbols could not be read, the chart opens as an underlay: the original page is shown as it is and your marks go on top of it — counters, progress and sync work as usual. We show exactly what failed to parse, and you can fix it by hand: nudge the grid, match a symbol to a color.
Which chart formats do you open?
PDFs open fully: the grid, the symbols and the legend are parsed on your device. An OXS file — the open interchange format of Win/MacStitch, XSPro, KXStitch and others — opens together with your marks: what you have already stitched comes with it. You can also export a chart back to OXS and take it with you. Scans and photos open as an underlay for now, so you can start marking straight away. We do not break into closed encrypted formats — instead we ask designers to publish charts openly.
Is it legal to upload charts I bought?
Yes, if the chart is yours. An uploaded file stays private: only you can see it, it is not published and it never enters a public catalogue. We do not break the protection of other people's closed formats and we do not hand out other people's charts. Publishing a chart for others is a separate path, with proof of rights.
What happens to my data?
Your charts and your progress belong to you. Marks are saved on the device first and keep working offline, then sync to your account. You can export everything as a single file at any moment — that is our own guard against locking you in. We do not sell data and we do not show ads.
What does it cost?
Opening a chart and marking stitches is free. Advanced capabilities will be paid; we state the price and the limits of the free tier up front and show them in the interface, not after you have paid.
