About

BeadEcho

Features
Read full description

BeadEcho is a pattern creation and management tool designed for fuse bead enthusiasts, helping you complete the entire creative process more easily—from images and patterns to the final bead-by-bead creation. You can convert photos or images into fuse bead patterns, or recognize existing fuse bead patterns and match them with color codes from different brands. Generated patterns remain fully editable, making it easy to fine-tune details, replace color codes, or modify individual beads. For larger projects, BeadEcho can also split patterns according to pegboard sizes, dividing a complete design into multiple sections for easier viewing, crafting, and step-by-step completion. Key Features: • Image to Fuse Bead Pattern Import a photo or image and turn it into a pattern suitable for fuse bead crafting, with colors matched to your selected brand and color code set. • Existing Pattern Recognition Import an existing fuse bead pattern and recognize its grid, rows, columns, and color information, converting it into an editable pattern. • Flexible Pattern Editing View grids, color codes, and bead usage, and modify individual beads directly in the pattern for easier detail adjustments. • Brand Color Code Matching Supports multiple fuse bead brands and color code sets, allowing you to choose color codes that match the beads you actually use. • Large Pattern Splitting Split large designs into multiple sections based on pegboard sizes, making them easier to craft board by board and helping you see the beads required for each section. • Bead Inventory Management Keep track of the bead color codes and quantities you own, check your current inventory, and quickly add or update stock in batches. • Color Usage Statistics Automatically calculate how many beads of each color code are required for a pattern, helping you prepare materials in advance. • Crafting Progress Tracking Track the status of your patterns so you can clearly see which projects have not been started, are currently in progress, or have already been completed. Whether you are starting a new design from an image or organizing an existing pattern, BeadEcho is designed to make pattern creation, bead preparation, board splitting, and the crafting process simpler and more convenient.
