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 β 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. You get a color legend, a bead-by-bead grid, and the exact count of each color β so you know precisely how many beads to buy and where every one goes. Export a clean printable PDF to follow at your table, or keep it on your phone as you build. Great for kids, parents, and crafters β birthday projects, rainy-day crafts, gifts, or turning a favorite pet or family photo into pixel art you can hang up.
