BeadCanvas turns photos and ideas into clear, practical fuse bead patterns. Shape the design, refine every bead, prepare the right colors, and carry a project from inspiration to a useful making guide. Create from any idea Start with a photo, a blank grid, or a built-in design. Adjust the grid, color range, blending, and level of detail while the preview helps you find the right balance between a recognizable image and a pattern that is comfortable to build. Work with real bead palettes Choose a bead brand, series, and size before generating. Palette entries keep their documented color codes, so the pattern, material summary, and exported files stay aligned. A universal palette is also available when you want to explore freely. Perfect every bead Draw, erase, fill areas, pick colors from the canvas, move around the pattern, and undo or redo changes. Color search and clear bead codes make detailed corrections manageable even in dense designs. A cleanup tool can consolidate near-duplicate stray colors while preserving important outlines. Plan before you make See the finished size estimate, bead totals, color quantities, coverage, and pegboard layout in one place. Sort the materials by code and use the production view as a practical reference while assembling the design. Export useful guides Create pattern images and print-ready PDF guides with optional grids, bead codes, project details, and a color legend. Export the shopping list as an image, PDF, spreadsheet-friendly CSV, or plain text for planning and sharing. Keep every project organized Search and sort your library, rename or duplicate a design, and reopen it whenever inspiration returns. Export a complete backup, then restore or safely merge the verified data later, so your collection remains portable and under your control. From the first photo to the final bead, BeadCanvas keeps the creative process focused, accurate, and enjoyable. Subscription terms: BeadCanvas offers an optional auto-renewing subscription.
