Patchwork vs Pixel Beader

If it lives on a grid of color, you can make it in Patchwork. Cross stitch, knitting, crochet, needlepoint, and more. Built natively for iPhone, so it feels fast and at home on your device. Here is what you can do. Design on a live pixel grid. Place stitches one at a time or fill whole areas at once. Draw lines and shapes, copy and paste sections, work in layers, and step back through your history whenever you need to. Turn a photo into a pattern. Bring in any picture and Patchwork maps it to threads you can actually buy. No tracing, no guesswork. You get a chart you can start stitching instead of a screenshot you have to squint at. Generate with AI. Describe what you want and get a starting point in a tap, then refine it however you like. It is a head start, not a black box, and your work stays yours. Match real thread colors. The full DMC, Anchor, and Madeira libraries are built in, over 900 colors, so what you see on screen matches the floss in your hands. Export anything. Save your chart, your symbol key, or a print-ready PDF, plus a shopping list with stitch counts so you know exactly what to buy. Crafting Mode. Track your progress stitch by stitch. Patchwork remembers exactly where you left off. Make it yours with color themes that follow your style. Now the part that matters as much as the features. Your patterns are private. There is no account to make and no server of ours collecting your work. Everything stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud, which only you can see. No advertising, no tracking, no analytics watching what you make. Patchwork is free to download so you can try it. When you are ready for everything, Patchwork Pro unlocks the full toolkit with one purchase. No subscription. iPad and Mac support are on the way, and your purchase and your patterns will come right along with you. If you stitch, knit, crochet, or design on a grid, Patchwork was made for you. Come make something. Questions or ideas? Write to support@withpatchwork.com. A real person reads every message.

Pixel Beader is a fuse bead design and pattern-making app built for iPhone and iPad. It gives you a complete workflow for creating, choosing colors, previewing, and sharing fuse bead art. 【From ideas to bead patterns】 Start with a blank pegboard and place beads one by one, or import a photo and quickly turn it into a clean pixel bead pattern. Fine-tune the rows, columns, sampling method, transparent background, and color count. Pixel Beader automatically matches colors to your palette and shows the code and quantity for every bead color. 【Precise editing, flexible colors】 On an iPad that supports Apple Pencil, you can place, replace, and erase beads as naturally as drawing. You can also switch to touch editing. Convert between pegboards and patterns to move smoothly from digital design to hands-on crafting. Choose from multiple built-in bead palettes, or add and edit your own colors. 【Organize, preview, and share】 Organize patterns in folders, favorite the designs you use most, and recover accidentally deleted items from Recently Deleted. When your design is ready, simulate the fusing process and preview Film, Parchment, and Teflon surface finishes. Inspect the finished piece from different angles in 3D or AR. Export pattern images and 3D snapshots, or share editable project files that can be imported again. 【Key features】 • Edit individual beads with Apple Pencil or touch • Pen, single-bead editing, eyedropper, eraser, lasso, and undo tools • Turn photos into pixel bead patterns • Automatically generate color legends and bead counts • Multiple built-in bead palettes • Organize patterns in folders • Favorites and Recently Deleted • Simulate fusing with three surface finishes • Inspect finished designs in 3D and AR • Export and share pattern images 【Privacy】 All photo processing and project data remain on your device and are never uploaded to a server. 【Membership】 The free plan supports pegboards and patterns up to 104 × 104.
