String Atelier

Turn any photo into a beautiful piece of string art — then let the app guide you through every single step of making it.

String Atelier is the companion app to the String Atelier physical kit. Whether you're a first-time crafter or a seasoned maker, the app handles the complexity so you can focus on the joy of creating.

── HOW IT WORKS ──

Choose any photo from your gallery. The app converts it into an optimised string art pattern using your chosen style. Then follow the live, visual step-by-step instructions — complete with voice guidance — to bring it to life on your board.

── STYLES & CUSTOMISATION ──

Pick from a range of pre-built styles, or create your own from scratch. Fine-tune settings like blackness, sharpness, clarity, contrast, and line density. Reduce thread lines with a slider to shorten assembly time. Every adjustment is previewed in real time, so you always know exactly what the finished piece will look like before you begin. Save your custom styles as presets to reuse anytime.

── STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS ──

Follow along with a live visual preview that updates after every single line, showing exactly what your portrait will look like as it takes shape. Voice instructions guide you nail by nail — telling you where to tie a knot, which nail comes next, and keeping you on track throughout.

── NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE ──

Got lost mid-project? Use the Search function to enter any nail number (for example A21) and the app will find your exact position in the instructions and resume from there.

── FULLY CUSTOMISABLE PLAYBACK ──

Adjust line colour and thickness for better visibility on your board. Set the automatic playback speed to match your pace.
