For rug tufters

Turn any photo into a tufting pattern.

Drop in a photo. TuftMap reduces it to the exact number of yarn colors you want, gives you a color legend, and builds a scaled print-at-home template you trace straight onto your backing cloth.

How it works

From photo to tuft in three steps.

Drop your photo

Any image โ€” a pet, a logo, a landscape. It processes instantly, right in your browser.

Pick your yarn colors

Slide to the number of yarn colors you have. TuftMap maps the whole image to just those colors and lists them.

Print & trace

Get a scaled template tiled across letter pages. Tape it up, trace onto your backing cloth, and tuft.

Why tufters use it

Skip the projector and the Photoshop fight.

FAQ

Good questions.

Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. All the image processing happens in your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server โ€” it's private and instant.

How does the print template work?

You enter your finished rug size, and TuftMap tiles the pattern across standard letter pages at true scale. Print them, tape them together, and trace the outlines onto your backing cloth.

Can I sell rugs I make from a pattern?

Yes โ€” Pro includes a commercial license to sell the physical rugs you tuft from your patterns.

What photos work best?

Images with clear shapes and good contrast tuft best. Busy photos with lots of tiny detail get simpler as you lower the yarn-color count.
