Tufting · Punch Needle · Latch Hook

Turn any photo into a rug you can actually tuft

Rugmi converts your image into a color-reduced, tuftable pattern — then helps you transfer it to fabric with a full-size poster PDF or projector mode, and works out how much yarn you'll need and what to charge.

Everything runs on your device. No account, no cloud — your photos never leave your phone.

Rugmi app preview

Everything you need to make the rug

From the first color to the final price — Rugmi carries one pattern through conversion, transfer, and planning, so nothing gets lost between your screen and your frame.

Convert any image

Drop in a photo and Rugmi reduces it to a clean, limited palette a tufting gun or punch needle can actually reproduce — respecting real-world minimum detail so every shape stays makeable.

Poster PDF

Export a full-size, tiled poster to print at home, tape together, and trace straight onto your backing cloth. Mirror it for back-side transfer with one tap, or export a numbered chart for latch hook.

Projector mode

Beam the pattern onto your frame and trace it live. Pan, zoom, and keystone-correct so the outline lands perfectly square on the fabric — no printing required.

Yarn calculator

Estimate how much yarn each color needs before you buy — based on rug size, pile height, and technique — so you don't run out mid-row or over-order.

Price calculator

Add up materials, time, and margin to price your rugs with confidence — whether it's a gift for a friend or an Etsy-style order.

Projects & gallery

Keep every rug organized with its pattern, palette, and a work timer — and browse your finished pieces in one gallery whenever you need a spark.

From photo to fabric in three steps

Open the app, pick an image, and Rugmi carries it all the way to a pattern you can trace, tuft, and cost out.

1

Pick a photo

Choose any image from your library and crop it to the rug's real-world size, so the pattern respects what your technique can actually stitch.

2

Tune the pattern

Set the number of colors and level of detail for tufting, punch needle, or latch hook. Fill and erase to clean up small areas.

3

Print or project

Export a poster PDF, open projector mode, and check your yarn and pricing — then start tufting.
