BeadChick vs BeadCube

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 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.

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.
