Turn any photo into nail-and-thread string art — the kind made by winding a single high-contrast thread between hundreds of pins. No uploads, no sign-up.
Upload a photo and the app recreates it the way an artist would — placing virtual nails, then pulling one continuous thread between them thousands of times. Shading emerges purely from where the strings cross.
Drag, drop, or paste any JPG, PNG, or WebP. Portraits work beautifully, or any image with large enough details.
A greedy line solver picks the single best thread to add at every step — the same approach used to build physical string-art portraits.
Canvas, thread & nail colors, nail size, density, accuracy, shading depth, hand-drawn squiggle, CMYK color threads, and luminosity blending.
Download a high-resolution PNG or copy straight to your clipboard. Everything runs locally — your photo never leaves your device.
No tutorials needed — load a picture and start pulling threads.
Click, drag & drop, or paste an image. A first version is generated automatically the moment it loads.
Adjust colors, nail density, accuracy and blend mode. The preview redraws so you can dial in exactly the style you want. Just click the "Generate string art" button to see new results.
When it looks right, export a crisp PNG or copy it to your clipboard. Your settings are remembered for next time.
