## What is Stitch & Bead?

Turn a favorite photo into a cross-stitch pattern, or start with a blank canvas and draw your own. Stitch & Bead keeps the whole process on your device, with no account, ads or subscriptions. Fuse-bead tools share the same worktable.

DESIGN YOUR PATTERN
Choose exact dimensions, preserve the photo's proportions or crop to fit. Adjust color budget, brightness, contrast and isolated-color cleanup. Compare your photo and chart before saving. Draw continuous strokes, erase, fill, pick colors and undo a whole stroke at once. Pinch to zoom and use two fingers to move the chart while drawing.

PRO DESIGN TOOLS
Mirror, rotate and resize the canvas without stretching stitches. Copy and paste rectangular selections, place text and add backstitch segments. Transformations keep completion marks aligned. Cropping warns before removing filled cells or lines, and changes can be undone.

MATERIALS THAT MATCH YOUR CRAFT
Includes attributed community palettes: DMC, Perler, Hama Midi, Artkal S, Artkal Mini and MARD 221. Match photos only to the material colors you select. Pro adds quantity records: calculate missing beads against unfinished work, or record thread skeins without pretending stitch counts determine thread length.

KEEP MAKING
Focus one color, see what remains, find exact X/Y coordinates or jump to the next unfinished cell. Mark progress by dragging, selected region, row or bead board. Track backstitch segments separately. Save and resume locally.

PRINT AND BACK UP
Export A4 or US Letter PDF charts with symbols, material codes, full-stitch and backstitch counts, page labels and global coordinates. Bead layouts use the selected pitch, with a 50 mm calibration line and printer correction. Export PNG, CSV shopping lists and editable projects. Search and sort projects, or back up the entire library with material records. Restore projects as new copies.

FREE DOWNLOAD AND OPTIONAL PRO
Download and try for free. Unlimited conversion previews, a blank canvas and one saved project up to 80x80 include basic editing, PDF export and progress. Deleting it frees the slot. Pro is a one-time lifetime in-app purchase for unlimited saved projects up to 240x240, advanced design tools and material quantities, in both crafts. No subscription or recurring trial charges. Restore with the same Apple Account.

Supports full cross stitches, backstitch and square-board layouts. Fractional stitches and automatic purchased-PDF parsing are not included. Screen colors are approximations: check actual materials, bead size and board pitch. Material counts are not thread-length estimates. Test actual-size printing on your own printer and board. Export backups before deleting the app. Brand names belong to their owners; this independent app is not affiliated with them.
