Imprinta

Turn Your Beadwork Into a Printed Book

A photo book app for Windows, from the makers of Krazy Stitcher. Put each pattern beside a photo of the finished piece, add the details, and print a portfolio of everything you've made. Your photos stay on your computer the whole time.

Buy Imprinta — $49.95

One-time purchase (introductory price; regular price $65). Sold separately: not included in any Krazy Stitcher edition.

Key Features

A full photo book app, with one page type made for pattern crafts.

Pattern Card Pages

Your pattern chart on one side, the finished piece on the other, and a details band below: project name, stitch type, bead count, finished size, date completed and notes.

A Whole Book From One Folder

Point Imprinta at a folder of photos and it groups them, picks layouts and proposes a full book in one pass. Change anything you like, or keep it as it is.

17 Page Layouts

Full-page photos, pairs, trios, grids and five-photo collages, plus text pages, front and back covers, and the Pattern Card.

Print-Ready PDF

Export at 200 or 300 DPI with an optional 3 mm bleed, in five page sizes from 8×8" to 12×12". Print at home or take it to any print shop.

Offline Trip Maps

Imprinta reads the location your camera saved in each photo and draws your route as a map page, on your computer. Good for a bead show trip or a vacation.

Your Photos Stay Home

No uploads and no account. Imprinta goes online only to check your license, the same way Krazy Stitcher does.

From Pattern to Portfolio

Three steps to a printed book of your finished pieces.

1

Export your patterns as PNG

In Base, Pro or Studio, export each pattern as a PNG image and save it in one folder with your photos of the finished pieces.

2

Open the folder in Imprinta

Imprinta reads the folder and lays out a first draft of the book. Add a Pattern Card page for each project and fill in its details.

3

Export and print

Save the book as a print-ready PDF, or as separate JPG or PNG pages to share. Imprinta doesn't take a cut of your printing.

What Beaders Make With It

  • A portfolio of your work. One Pattern Card per piece, with the chart, the photo and the bead count together.
  • A craft fair binder. Printed pages customers can flip through at your table.
  • A keepsake book. Every piece you made for family over the years, with the date and the story behind each one.
  • Everything else. Imprinta is a full photo book app, so the same license makes vacation, family and event books too.

Good to Know

Imprinta is a Windows desktop app. Unlike Krazy Stitcher, it is installed on your computer instead of running in a browser. It does not run on a Mac, a phone or a tablet.

It is a separate product. A Krazy Stitcher license does not unlock Imprinta, and Imprinta does not open .ks pattern files. It works with the PNG pictures that Krazy Stitcher exports.

One payment, then free updates. $49.95 one-time through Gumroad, the same store that sells Krazy Stitcher. Your license key arrives with the receipt, and every 1.x update is free.
