Turn any photo into a fuse-bead pegboard pattern you can actually make. Beadly takes a photo from your camera roll and maps it onto a pegboard grid ā matching every pixel to a real bead color, so you get an exact chart to follow bead by bead. When you're done placing, you have a finished piece that looks just like your photo. No guessing. No subscription. Pay once and make as many patterns as you want. Here's how it works: pick a photo, choose your board size and how many colors to use, and Beadly builds the pattern.

Export a clean printable PDF to follow at your table, or keep it on your phone as you build.
