Details disappear in a small grid
Choose a dedicated path for photos and illustrations or for pixel art and logos, so the conversion fits the source image.
From a photo to a pattern you can build
Know the beads before you buy them.
Import a photo or illustration, then choose your board size and color limit. BeadCraft creates a pattern mapped to real bead colors, lists the codes and quantities, and tracks your progress while you build.

Where pattern projects usually stall
A pretty pixel image is not yet a buildable plan.
Finishing with physical beads also means choosing a size that keeps the subject recognizable, matching colors you can buy, counting materials, and keeping your place.
You do not know which colors to buy
See real color codes and usage counts for Perler, Hama, Nabbi Nano, and Artkal palettes.
You lose your place in a large pattern
Move through boards and colors, mark placed cells, and resume with remaining counts and overall progress intact.
Three steps
Keep planning and making in one flow.
Choose an image type
Pick Photo / Illustration or Pixel Art / Logo, then crop around the subject you want to preserve.
Set size, colors, and palette
Balance recognizable detail against the number of beads and colors you are ready to use.
Prepare and build
Check every code and count, then follow Making Mode or export the printable PDF.
