Turn any photo into a bead-art pattern β€” or start from a blank canvas or a line of text. AI Fuse Bead Pattern Maker converts a photo into a clear, editable bead chart. Use AI cartoonization to simplify a subject into bold shapes, remove the background to pure white, or convert the original photo directly β€” then fine-tune every cell by hand. THREE WAYS TO START β€’ From a photo: import or shoot a picture, then choose AI cartoonization, AI background removal, or direct conversion β€’ From a blank canvas: pick a real pegboard size (29 to 116 pegs) or a custom size and draw pixel by pixel β€’ From text: type up to 60 characters and get an instant pixel-text chart BUILD YOUR CHART β€’ Set a custom grid size and pick a supported bead/perler color palette β€’ Edit individual cells and swap colors to fine-tune the design β€’ See exact bead counts, color codes and a full shopping list β€’ Import a photo of an existing chart and auto-match its colors to your palette PLAN, EXPORT, CRAFT Preview dimensions, total beads and color usage before you start. Save the finished chart to Photos or share it with friends. Premium members can export in extra-high resolution for large prints. KEEP PROJECTS ORGANIZED Save every DIY project, revisit and regenerate it with a different size or palette, and keep your finished craft photos together in one library. DISCOVER AND SHARE Browse the curated pattern library, filter by color or size, save favorites, publish your own original charts, and share finished projects with the community. Community posts can be reported and publishers can be blocked. FREE & PREMIUM Free members get a 3-pattern library and 10 starter bean points. Premium unlocks a 500-pattern library, 500 bean points every month, about 30 downloads a day from the Pattern Plaza, and high-resolution export β€” billed monthly or yearly (yearly saves over 40%). Eligible new subscribers get a 7-day free trial plus 50 bonus bean points. AI photo processing is optional and only begins after you agree to the in-app disclosure. AI generations use bean points; your free and purchased balances are always shown in the app. Premium (Monthly or Yearly) is an auto-renewing subscription. Price is shown in-app before purchase and varies by region. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.

About

Dottie

Read full description

Dottie is a pixel art editor for game sprites, small illustrations and short animations. Start from a template, change the colors and make it your own. START WITH A TEMPLATE Choose from 6 original pixel art templates. A short creation guide takes you through choosing a color, drawing and exporting a PNG. Templates and the guide work within the free limits. DRAW AND REFINE Use pencils, fill, shapes and dithering. Keep colors consistent with palettes, then move, copy, flip or rotate a selection. Symmetry and zoom help with the finishing touches. ADD LAYERS AND MOTION Edit backgrounds and characters on separate layers. Duplicate frames, make small changes and play your animation. Onion skin shows the previous frame as a guide. WORK FROM A REFERENCE Import an image and adjust its position, size and rotation. Assign reference images to individual frames to guide poses and compositions. BACK UP AND RESTORE YOUR PROJECTS Back up all projects or just selected ones to a file, then restore them on another device. Review the contents before restoring; existing artwork is kept. Basic backup and restore are free. This is manual file transfer, not automatic cloud sync. Premium purchases are restored separately through the store where you purchased them. EXPORT YOUR ART Export PNG images and editable project files. Premium also includes animated GIF, PNG sequence, sprite sheet and tile image exports. WHAT CAN I MAKE FOR FREE? Create up to 5 projects, with canvases up to 64 Γ— 64 pixels, 3 layers per frame and 3 frames. The free version displays ads. WHEN YOU NEED MORE ROOM Premium is a one-time purchase that removes ads and expands project, canvas, layer and frame limits, plus export options. You can also complete a rewarded ad to try Premium for 24 hours. Purchases and rewarded ads require an internet connection. Device memory and other limits still apply to project size. No account registration is required. Artwork is saved on your device. Keep a backup file of important projects outside the app. Advertising and purchases use external services. Available in English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Spanish.
