DodoGrid is a bead art studio for creating, building, and showcasing real bead patterns. Start from a photo, pixel art, an existing bead design, or a blank canvas. Convert your source into a precise bead grid, refine each cell, and keep every bead mapped to a real palette color. When you are ready to build, DodoGrid helps you follow the pattern with more confidence. Highlight one color at a time, check bead counts, export your chart, and organize the details you need for the making process. After finishing a piece, use the showcase space to arrange your bead art freely, add background designs, and create a personal collection of completed works. Whether you are making a small charm, portrait, wall decor, gift, or large bead project, DodoGrid keeps the whole process in one place: generate the pattern, build the bead art, and display the finished result.
