Turn your own photo into a String Art project
Upload a photo · Compare versions · Follow the thread point by point
First, see how the photograph looks when rebuilt with a single thread. Once you choose the best version, the generator prepares the connection sequence you need to make the piece.
To make the generator process the photo correctly, go through 3 sections. In each one you will find a question mark in the top right corner – click it to see details and editing tips.

From a photo to the first length of thread
Six stages you can check in the preview before starting the work
1
Choose a photo with a clear subject
A portrait, pet, silhouette or simple object usually gives the best start. Upload it directly in the browser without installing software.
2
Separate the subject from the background
A calm background leaves more lines for the face or main subject. Remove it and immediately check whether the outline is still readable.
3
Adjust the light and edges
Adjust contrast so the important features do not disappear in shadow. The preview responds to each change, so you can judge the effect as you work.
4
Let the tool plan the route
Points are placed around the perimeter and the tool searches for the next useful connection. This gradually builds a route based on your image.
5
Compare the result before winding
The image appears line by line. If a version feels too dark, too sparse or unclear, return to the settings before reaching for the thread.
6
Guide the thread point by point
Once the project is ready, follow the displayed sequence. You can pause, go back one step and return to the work when it suits you.

How to choose a photo that works well in thread
The best shot does not need to be perfect - it needs a clear subject and readable light
Look at the photo at a small size. If the face, silhouette, or main subject is still easy to recognize, you have a good starting point. You can judge the rest in the preview before spending time and thread.
1
Light separates the subject from the background
A clear difference between light and dark areas helps the lines build shape. A soft, flat image usually needs stronger adjustment.
2
The background should not compete
A plain or gently blurred background leaves more room for the subject. Lots of small background elements can turn into stray lines.
3
One subject gives a clearer result
A portrait of one person, an animal, or a single object is easier to read than a group photo. For a wider shot, crop down to the part that matters most.
4
Do not hide detail in shadow
Completely black areas contain no information about texture or facial features. Try lifting the shadows slightly and check whether detail returns.
5
For portraits, keep the eyes and features visible
A straight-on or slightly angled portrait usually keeps the eyes, nose, and mouth readable. Those features are what make the final portrait recognizable.

Three settings that genuinely change the pattern
There is no single perfect value - compare previews and choose the character of the image
01
Point count: the structure of the image
More points give the thread more anchor positions and more freedom to shape features and edges. A lower count creates a simpler, more graphic result and usually shortens the making time.
160 points
Simple outline
240 points
Clear detail
400 points
Dense detail
02
Thread coverage: how quickly shadows build
With gentle coverage, shadows grow through many light passes. Stronger coverage builds contrast faster, but subtle midtones are easier to lose. The preview shows the difference immediately.

Mask: directing attention to detail
Use the mask to keep selected areas especially clear, such as the eyes or mouth. A light touch works best, so one feature does not pull too much thread away from the rest of the face.

How to improve a pattern in the String Art generator
Increase Correction for an overly dark image, use Mark for missing facial areas, and remove a background that dominates the subject.

How many points should you use for String Art? 240, 320, 400 or 480
The generator pairs 30 cm with 240 points, 40 cm with 320, 50 cm with 400 and 60 cm with 480.

How to choose a photo for String Art
You do not need a professional camera. Clear light, a readable silhouette and a subject that does not disappear into the background matter more.
Read the guideWhat does the generator actually create?
A visual preview and the connection sequence between points
This is not a simple photo filter. The tool analyzes the light and dark areas of the image, then looks for successive connections between points around the perimeter. The preview shows the planned result, while the instructions turn it into something you can make by hand.
1
Points form the structure
Points around the perimeter are fixed anchor positions. Their number affects how many small shapes the thread can reproduce.
2
One thread builds tone and detail
Each pass gently darkens part of the image. Only many overlapping lines create shadows, facial features and a sense of depth.
3
The preview lets you experiment safely
You can change the photo and settings before using any material. An unsuccessful version costs a few clicks, not hours of winding.
4
Each connection comes from the image
The tool checks which next connection will bring the preview closer to the photograph. This creates a deliberate sequence instead of a random tangle.
5
The instructions guide the making process
The screen shows the current point and the next step. You can focus on keeping the thread even instead of decoding the entire pattern yourself.

The same project on a large and small screen
It is easiest to refine the photo and settings on a larger screen. While winding, open the instructions on a phone placed beside the base.
There is no software to install. Everything runs in the browser, so you can choose the device that suits each stage.
