For knitters who work from charts
Knit from your chart without losing your row
Knitglow turns an image or a PDF page of your pattern into an editable chart. You review it against the original, then it keeps your row and repeat so you can stop and pick up exactly where you were.
What works today
Free in your browser now. No account needed.
-
Bring in your chart
A PNG, JPEG or WebP image, or one page of a PDF, up to 15 MB.
-
Fit the grid
Set the four corners and the number of stitches and rows. A suggested grid is a starting point you adjust.
-
Match symbols to your legend
Pick one sample cell for each symbol and say what it means, using your original pattern's legend. Similar cells are matched on your device; unclear ones stay unknown.
-
Review and approve
Compare your chart with the original pattern side by side, fix cells, and approve once every cell is reviewed.
-
Track rows and repeats
Mark rows done, undo, and set one repeat range (1–99 times). The reading direction follows flat or in-the-round knitting.
-
Resume where you stopped
Your row, notes and approval are saved in this browser. Export a backup to keep a second copy.
-
On your device, in English and Korean
Files are processed in the browser and are not uploaded.
Who it's for
- Knitters working from rectangular charts: colorwork, lace and textured stitch patterns.
- Not yet: cables that span several cells, crochet diagrams, round or irregular charts, and written (text-only) patterns.

Coming, not included yet

Cancel Plus now?
Plus ends today. Sync stops and the free account's monthly conversion limit applies again. Your charts stay on this device and in your account.
- Refund
Paddle returns it to your original payment method. It can take a few days to arrive.
The refund changed because a day has passed since you opened this. Check the new amount, then cancel again.
Cancel any time
Cancel from Manage subscription here or in Your work, or from the link in your Paddle receipt. Renewal stops, and Plus stays on until the end of the period you've paid for. To cancel a yearly plan right away and get the unused days back, email us.
Refunds
A full refund, no questions asked, within 30 days of your first payment and within 14 days of any renewal. After that, you can still cancel a yearly plan right away and get the unused days back. Your legal rights where you live still apply.
Paddle.com is the merchant of record for Knitglow Plus: it sells the subscription to you, takes the payment and handles tax. We never see your card details.
Questions
What are the limits today?
Rectangular knitting charts up to 100 sts × 100 rows, one chart per project and one repeat range per chart. Matching is semi-automatic: you name each symbol from your original pattern's legend, and every result needs your review. Knitglow doesn't read written patterns, guess what a symbol means, or check stitch counts.
Is my chart uploaded anywhere?
No. Images and PDFs are processed in your browser. Charts, progress and notes are stored in this browser. There is no account and no cloud sync yet.
What if I clear my browser data or switch devices?
Clearing browser data deletes your charts, and they don't move to another device on their own. Use Export backup in the Your work menu to keep a copy you can restore elsewhere.
Do you collect any data?
Only anonymous usage counts, and only when they are switched on for this site: a random browser ID, the event name and where the visit came from. No chart content, names or email addresses. Privacy and opt-out
Who handles payment?
No one yet: payments aren't open.
How do I cancel?
There's nothing to cancel yet: Plus isn't open.
