EasyBeads

Read full description

EasyBeads is the all-in-one fuse-bead studio that takes you the whole way — from a photo to a chart, to preparing your beads, to placing them one by one. Most apps stop at the chart; EasyBeads is with you until the last bead. WHAT ONLY EASYBEADS DOES • Build companion: assemble row by row with live highlighting, tap each bead as you place it, watch your progress, and resume a big project anytime. • Bead inventory & shopping list: record the beads you own, and every chart instantly shows which colors — and how many — you're still short. Share a ready-to-buy list split into 'missing' and 'complete'. ALSO INSIDE • Real community brand color systems: MARD, COCO, 漫漫, 盼盼, 咪小窝, 黄豆豆 and 小舞 — matched to each brand's official kits (24–144 colors), not generic Perler/Hama guesses. • Boundless full-screen editor: refine the generated chart bead by bead — a creation tool, not a one-shot filter. • Two conversion engines (posterize / error-diffusion dithering) + on-device Vision subject cut-out, fully offline. • Live color counts, per-color exclusion, and your own album of saved charts. GREAT FOR fuse-bead and pixel-art crafters, parents crafting with kids, and anyone who wants the whole make — not just a preview. No account needed. Pick a photo and start.
