## What is BeadCraft?

BeadCraft Local helps you turn photos into ready-to-make fuse bead patterns.

Import a pet photo, portrait, icon, or any local image, then convert it into a clear bead grid for real craft work. The app maps your image to Artkal S 5mm bead colors, counts the beads you need, and helps you export a printable making plan.

Features:

• Photo to bead pattern
Import a local image and generate a bead grid for your chosen board size and color count.

• Real bead color matching
Match patterns to Artkal S 5mm colors so your plan is closer to the beads you actually use.

• Bead material list
See color usage and bead counts before you start making.

• Printable PDF export
Create clean pattern sheets for printing, sharing, or checking while crafting.

• Progress tracking
Mark completed beads as you work through larger patterns.

• Local privacy
Your photos, generated patterns, and project files stay on your device.

Great for:

• Perler bead and fuse bead makers
• Pixel art craft projects
• Pet portraits, avatars, charms, gifts, and decorations
• Makers who want a private offline photo-to-pattern workflow

The free version includes basic pattern creation. Pro unlocks larger boards, printable PDFs, unlimited saved projects, and high-resolution exports.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-25

Version 1.5.0 makes Making Mode easier to try. Complete the first board while following color codes, required counts, and progress.

Guidance for continuing to the next board is now clearer, interrupted work resumes more smoothly, and overall usability and stability have been improved.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-04

Version 1.4.0 introduces Making Mode for real-world bead projects. Patterns are divided into boards so you can follow each color code, required count, remaining count, and overall progress.

You can now merge similar colors, reduce color noise, and replace colors across a pattern. New actions after generation take you directly to Making Mode or PDF preview, and your selected action continues after purchase.

This update also reduces unnecessary background drawing and improves usability, stability, and power efficiency.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-28

Version 1.3.0 adds a pattern preview before PDF export, making it easier to check the result before printing. This update also improves usability and stability.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-15

Version 1.2.0 adds Perler, Hama, and Nabbi bead palettes alongside improved Artkal matching.

This update also improves color-code counts, material lists, printable PDF value messaging, Pro upgrade prompts, and adds Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics for product quality and crash diagnostics.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-18

This update adds support for more languages, including Japanese, German, French, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese.

It also improves system language detection and localized display in material lists and PDF export, making it easier for users in different regions to create, save, and print their bead patterns.
