FuseBeadMaker turns photos and images into clear, buildable fuse bead patterns. Import a pet, portrait, illustration, or craft idea, choose the detected person or animal you want to keep, and preview the result before creating the grid. Start with your own photo or browse 236 ready-to-use templates. Seven pattern styles help preserve outlines, simplify colors, or highlight important details. With 3D Beads (Beta), a flat pattern can also become an editable layered bead form. Plan and finish each project: - Generate bead patterns from photos and images - Select detected people or pets before conversion - Choose from 7 pattern styles and 236 templates - Review color codes, color counts, and total beads - Check missing beads and suggested replacements - Edit the grid and individual cells manually - Import PDF patterns, recognize grids, legends, and color codes, and review uncertain cells - Save multiple PDF pages as separate projects - Check materials before starting, build by color or row, and keep timed session history - Manage material and inventory references - Preview and export high-resolution images - Export A4 PDFs and split-board references - Create and edit layered 3D bead projects (Beta) - Save projects locally and continue later Photo processing, projects, inventory, and pattern data stay on your device. No account is required. Great for pet portraits, handmade gifts, pixel art references, and larger projects that benefit from color-by-color guidance.
