Stringshot

Upload a photo, pick a frame shape, and generate. Threads are found on grayscale, then colored from your original pixels. Use Crop to zoom and pan. Boost contrast for flat photos. Higher render resolution = thinner lines.

Export a 4K PNG, SVG, pin-sequence TXT, or printable nailing template. The thread length estimate tells you how much string to buy.

Your photo never leaves your device.

FAQ
What is Stringshot?

A free photo-to-string-art converter with real photo colors. Circle, square, polygon, ellipse, or heart frames. Export as 4K PNG, SVG, pin-sequence TXT, or printable nailing template. Everything runs in your browser.

How do I build this physically?

Set your board size, generate, then export the Template (printable nail guide) and TXT (pin sequence). Print the template, tape to your board, hammer nails at each dot, follow the sequence with thread.

Algo vs render resolution?

Algo = detail the thread-finder sees. Render = output sharpness. Try algo 500 + render 2400.

Is my photo private?

Yes. Everything runs locally. Nothing uploaded.

What photos work best?

Close-up portraits, pets, and high-contrast images. Use Crop to zoom into the subject.
