Beadify turns any photo or emoji into a pixel bead pattern you can physically build. Import a photo from your library, snap one with your camera, or choose from over 1,900 emoji. Beadify maps every pixel to the nearest bead color using perceptually accurate Oklab color matching. PATTERN LIBRARY Save and organize unlimited patterns — rename, duplicate, or delete anytime. BEAD PALETTES • MARD — 213 colors • Artkal M — 220 colors (same codes as MARD) • Artkal C — 174 colors • Artkal S — 176 colors • Perler — 95 colors • Hama / IKEA PYSSLA — 92 colors Palettes are grouped by brand for faster browsing. Or build a custom palette with exactly the bead colors you own, or skip palettes entirely for free-form pixel art. SHOPPING LIST Generate a buy list for any pattern — exact bead counts per color, with a 10% spare margin built in. Export as CSV for easy ordering. PALETTE CONVERSION Switch between bead brands and see exactly how well each color matches — exact, close, or approximate — before you commit. Export the conversion table as CSV. DITHERING Floyd-Steinberg, Atkinson, Burkes, or Stucki error diffusion, plus 4×4 or 8×8 Bayer ordered dithering — smooth gradients and clean, buildable transitions.
