Pixel Beader vs BeadCube

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.

See the finished piece in 3D before placing your first bead. BeadCube is a complete workspace for fuse-bead creators. Turn photos into clear patterns, start from a blank canvas, inspect the finished look in 3D, and find structural weak points before you assemble or iron your work. 3D PREVIEW View your flat pattern as dimensional beads. Drag to inspect it from different angles or jump to preset views, so colors, silhouettes, and assembly relationships are easier to judge before you begin. PHOTO TO PATTERN Choose a photo, crop the subject, and generate a bead pattern automatically. BeadCube suggests a suitable grid and color count, with controls for background removal, color limits, artwork type, and dithering. CREATE AND EDIT Start with a blank canvas or refine a generated pattern cell by cell. Paint, erase, fill, pick colors, select, flip, rotate, undo, and redo. Keep the source image underneath as a reference while correcting details. DESIGNED FOR IPAD Make full use of the larger display with side-by-side previews and controls, an editor that keeps the canvas and inspector visible together, and pattern-plus-3D assembly views. Apple Pencil support enables precise input, while separate finger drawing and panning controls keep longer creative sessions comfortable and efficient. STRUCTURE CHECK Detect isolated beads, detached regions, diagonal-only connections, and critical weak points. Locate each issue, reinforce it, ignore an intentional detail, and run the check again after editing. IMPORT FROM LINKS Paste an external link that contains an image. BeadCube first tries to recognize an existing grid pattern; other images continue through the photo conversion flow. Only import content you have the right to use. ASSEMBLY AND MATERIALS Review bead counts by color, focus on one color while assembling, and export clear patterns, color references, and material lists for printing or sharing.
