The right size should fit the photo, the display space and the amount of time you genuinely want to spend making it.
30-40 cm: an easier start
A smaller format works well for a simple portrait, silhouette or photo with one clear subject. It takes less space and is easier to split into short sessions.
50 cm: balance between detail and comfort
This size leaves room for readable facial features while still fitting most homes. It works well for gifts and a first larger project.
60 cm: when the artwork should lead the room
A large base makes the most of photos with subtle tones and more detail. Plan a comfortable workspace and allow more time for threading.
- measure the display area before buying
- make sure you can support or turn the base comfortably
- compare previews with several pattern densities
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does a larger kit always create a better image?+
Not always. A larger base offers more possibilities, but a weak photo can still be unclear. Test the photo in the generator first.
Which size is best for a first attempt?+
Choose 30-40 cm for a shorter project. Consider 50 cm if you want a more decorative portrait and have more time.
