PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photo conversion, editing, counts, exports, and pattern viewing run on your device. We don’t require sign-in, and we don’t upload your art. Sharing and backup only happen when you choose. PRO Pro doesn’t cap how many projects you keep on this device, and unlocks Pro catalog patterns. One-time unlock, no subscription. We don’t host a cloud library. NOTES Screen colors and printed results can differ from physical beads and printers. Always check your bead brand’s instructions.
