## What is BeadCanvas?

Turn photos, group shots and pets into bead patterns you can actually build.

Pay as you go — no subscription, no auto-renewal, no ads.

• Still looks like them: bold color blocks keep the faces, eyes intact. One photo, or several combined into one pattern
• Any size you like: from keychain to wall art — slide the size and the bead count follows
• Ready-made patterns: browse by category and start building, no waiting for a generation
• Recognize any chart: snap a photo of a chart you love and get its grid and color codes
• Codes that match your beads: Perler, Hama, Artkal, MARD, COCO and more, with a count for every color
• Build without losing your place: block view, single-color highlight and progress tracking

Good for: pet keychains, graduation gifts, couple portraits, kids' craft time, market prep.

Patterns live on your device; publish your work to the community and it appears after review.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2026-11-07

• Patterns come out bigger and sharper — faces and small details hold up
• Using the whole photo? Skip cropping and start right away
• Exported images show friends where to find the app

### 1.1.1 — 2026-11-04

• Chart recognition keeps the whole chart: grid lines and color codes at the edges are no longer cropped off
• Import tips appear only once, so crop, move and add-image guidance stops covering your work every time
• The app opens on Create, so picking a style and photo takes one less step

### 1.1.0 — 2026-11-02

• Faster, steadier generation: the app picks the quicker path and retries on its own after a drop
• Community and Inspire use a staggered grid, so photos keep their real shape
• Long-press your own works to manage them: change visibility or delete
• Photos open full screen, and credits are confirmed before generating

### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-23

No release notes.
