BeadChick vs BeadPals

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.

BeadPals focuses on just one thing: turning your photos into follow-along fuse bead patterns. Whether it's a pet photo, a couple's photo, a family portrait, or a cartoon character, it can be transformed into a clear, color-coded pattern for you to craft. Why it's better to use: • Simple Process: Generate a pattern in just a few steps after selecting your photo. • Smart & Precise Cutout: Gives you precise control over which parts of the photo are converted into the pattern, saving you bead materials. • Complete Brand Color Palettes: Supports major fuse bead brand color charts with continuous updates. Colors are automatically tallied so you know exactly what to prepare. • Custom palettes: pick the color codes you own by brand—no wasted beads. • Color Count Limit: You can limit the number of colors in the generated pattern, helping you maximize bead savings. • Clear stray colors: automatically merge less-used colors for cleaner, easier patterns. • Customizable Sizes: Standard pegboards or custom sizes—the dimensions are completely up to you. • Editable Patterns: Swap out a designated color or change a specific area with just one click, which is super handy when you run out of certain beads. • One-Click Brand Swapping: Switch the pattern to another brand's color palette at any time after it is generated. • Beading Mode: Zoom in to read color codes easily, and isolate specific color zones so you can focus on one color at a time. • Exportable Patterns: Supports exporting high-definition images or connecting directly to system printing.
