Turn a favorite photo into a practical fuse-bead build plan—entirely on your iPhone. Trellipix keeps image processing, pattern generation, editing, projects, material estimates, and assembly progress on device. No account is required. EXPLORE A READY-MADE BUILD FIRST Open the original Harbor Mosaic sample from Home without granting photo access. Its populated 58 × 58 pattern spans four 29 × 29 pegboards and includes multiple colors, material estimates, and partly completed assembly progress. Explore the editor, materials, boards, assembly, and export workflow immediately. Sample progress is stored separately from your own project library and resumes on your next visit. CREATE A BUILDABLE PATTERN • Choose one photo with Apple's PhotosPicker, select an image from Files, or begin with a blank canvas. • Crop and adjust the image without overwriting the original. • Choose grid and board dimensions, then generate a deterministic pattern with the original Generic Core64 palette. EDIT AND PLAN • Paint, erase, fill, sample, and replace colors. • Undo and redo edits, zoom the canvas, and switch grid, color-code, and source-reference overlays. • Review exact bead counts plus on-hand, shortage, and pack-quantity estimates. BUILD AND RESUME • Split large designs into pegboards with stable row and column coordinates. • Mark placed cells on an interactive board and review completed, remaining, and percentage progress. • Track assembly by board, color, or region and resume later. EXPORT A COMPLETE PLAN Export PNG, A4 PDF, CSV, or a portable Trellipix project archive. Choose grid, codes, coordinates, and board boundaries for the output you need. Trellipix is free to download. Basic creation, editing, statistics, board assembly, and PNG export are included. A one-time Lifetime Unlock opens larger projects and advanced inventory, assembly, and export tools. The App Store purchase sheet shows the price for your storefront. Existing projects remain readable. Generic Core64 and BCG-* codes are original Trellipix identifiers, not manufacturer color systems or product numbers. Material counts, dimensions, shortages, and pack recommendations are estimates; Trellipix does not quote vendors or place orders.
