What pet photos work best?

Clear, well-lit photos with the pet filling most of the frame. Head-on or 3/4-angle shots work better than side profiles. Plain backgrounds help but aren't required — the AI focuses on the pet, not the surroundings.

How accurate is the AI breed detection?

For common breeds (tabby cats, golden retrievers, German shepherds, etc.) accuracy is high. For mixed breeds or unusual angles the AI gives its best match and notes its confidence level. Even a low-confidence match still produces a pattern with accurately matched colors.

Can I change the suggested yarn colors?

Yes — after the AI suggests a palette, every color is fully editable. You can swap any shade from the full color picker, or enter a hex code if you have a specific yarn in mind.

Can I make a blanket from any pet photo?

Yes — choose the "Make a blanket" option after the AI match. Your pet's photo is converted into a granny-pixel grid chart. The tool auto-crops and quantizes the photo to 4–6 yarn colors and generates a full blanket chart with row-by-row instructions.

How much yarn will I need?

The pattern includes a per-color yarn estimate. An amigurumi head uses roughly 50–100 yards of main color. A baby blanket from a pet photo typically needs 400–600 yards total across all colors (worsted weight).

Is the AI pet portrait feature free?

Yes — the AI analysis is free. You get the full amigurumi pattern or blanket chart at no cost. No account required.

What image formats can I upload?

JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported. Maximum file size is 4 MB. HEIC photos from iPhone are not supported — convert to JPG first by sharing/saving the photo before uploading.

Turn Your Pet Photo into a Crochet Pattern

Upload any photo of your pet — cat, dog, rabbit, or bear — and the CrochetPop AI identifies the breed and matches yarn colors to your pet's actual coat. In seconds you get a custom amigurumi (stuffed doll) pattern or a granny-pixel blanket, with yarn quantities and step-by-step instructions.

The AI runs on Google Gemini 2.5 Flash. It identifies breed, coat pattern, and dominant colors, then maps them to real yarn shades from common yarn brands. No design skills needed — just upload, confirm the match, and start crocheting.
