Bead Lab – Fuse Bead Patterns

The output isn't a picture. It's something you build. Bead Lab reads your photo against a real manufacturer's bead palette, then gives you the three things a picture can't: the colours to buy and how many of each, the design split across pegboards the size you already own, and a build mode that remembers every bead you've placed. ONE COLOUR AT A TIME Working from a flat pattern means hunting for where the next bead goes. Build mode lights up the colour you're holding and dims everything else, so you place all 720 of the charcoal black, mark that colour done, and move to the next one. Put the phone down halfway through and it's still there tomorrow. KNOW WHAT TO BUY BEFORE YOU BUY IT Every colour comes out of a real brand's catalogue and carries its product code. The materials list gives you the code, the name and the exact count — 720 of H6, 530 of H16 — so you order once instead of running out three evenings in. BOARD BY BOARD A 96×64 design doesn't fit on one pegboard. Bead Lab splits it across as many as it takes, numbers them, and shows each board on its own with the beads that board needs. Print them or work from the screen. FIX WHAT THE CONVERSION GOT WRONG No automatic conversion gets thin shapes right — bamboo leaves, whiskers, lettering. Brush, flood fill, replace colour, eyedropper, line and rectangle let you repair them by hand, and an automatic cleanup folds away stray single beads and colours too close to tell apart. You see how many cells will change before anything changes, and every step undoes. THREE WAYS TO MAKE IT Crisp outline, detail first, or fewer beads. One photo, three trade-offs, each labelled with its colour count, bead count and board count. Choose by the numbers instead of guessing at sliders. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account, no server.
