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.

BeadCanvas turns photos and ideas into clear, practical fuse bead patterns. Shape the design, refine every bead, prepare the right colors, and carry a project from inspiration to a useful making guide. Create from any idea Start with a photo, a blank grid, or a built-in design. Adjust the grid, color range, blending, and level of detail while the preview helps you find the right balance between a recognizable image and a pattern that is comfortable to build. Work with real bead palettes Choose a bead brand, series, and size before generating. Palette entries keep their documented color codes, so the pattern, material summary, and exported files stay aligned. A universal palette is also available when you want to explore freely. Perfect every bead Draw, erase, fill areas, pick colors from the canvas, move around the pattern, and undo or redo changes. Color search and clear bead codes make detailed corrections manageable even in dense designs. A cleanup tool can consolidate near-duplicate stray colors while preserving important outlines. Plan before you make See the finished size estimate, bead totals, color quantities, coverage, and pegboard layout in one place. Sort the materials by code and use the production view as a practical reference while assembling the design. Export useful guides Create pattern images and print-ready PDF guides with optional grids, bead codes, project details, and a color legend. Export the shopping list as an image, PDF, spreadsheet-friendly CSV, or plain text for planning and sharing.
