Complete Guide to Bead Patterns
From uploading a photo to finishing your bead art — step by step
1.Upload Your Image
Open the Editor and click "Upload Image". Supports JPEG, PNG, WebP. Use clear images with distinct colors for best results. Portraits, anime characters, landscapes, logos all work great.
2.Choose Brand & Settings
Pick your bead brand (MARD, Artkal, Perler, Hama — 15 brands). Set grid size (32-64 recommended) and max colors. Larger grids = more detail but longer crafting time.
3.Auto-Generate Pattern
Click "Generate Pattern" — the system converts your image to a bead pattern. Each pixel is matched to the nearest real bead color (CIE-Lab color space), ensuring the beads you buy match the pattern.
4.Fine-Tune with Editor
After generation, fine-tune with editing tools: pencil for pixel-by-pixel coloring, eraser to clear, color picker, bulk color replace. Undo/redo supported. Double-click eraser to flood-erase same-color areas. Hold Space + drag to pan.
5.Export & Print
Click "Export" — choose format: full blueprint (with color codes), 50×50 block zoom (easy to follow), material list (color name, code, quantity). Print it out and start crafting!
6.Share to Gallery
Happy with your creation? Click "Publish to Gallery" — set title, category, difficulty, tags. Choose to share for free or set a price. Other users can browse, buy, and use your patterns.
