BeadChick vs Bead Atlas

Turn a photo into a fuse bead pattern you can actually build. BeadChick converts pets, portraits, characters, and everyday snapshots into clean pixel-style patterns. Choose the subject or use the full photo, then adjust the pattern size, palette, and number of colors to fit your pegboard and the beads you have on hand. MADE FOR REAL-WORLD BEADING • Create a pattern from any photo • Isolate the main subject for a cleaner result • Choose from built-in bead palettes (including Perler® and Hama®) or create your own • View a zoomable grid with coordinates and color codes • See exact bead counts for every color • Erase, restore, or recolor individual cells • Undo and redo edits without losing your work • Save projects and export a high-resolution pattern image PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos and patterns are processed on your device. No account is required, and your images are not uploaded to our servers. Whether you are recreating a pet, planning a gift, or turning pixel art into a pegboard project, BeadChick takes the guesswork out of colors and quantities so you can spend more time making. Some advanced features, including custom palettes and iCloud sync and backup, require BeadChick Pro.
