BeadPattern is an AI pattern generation tool designed specifically for physical bead crafts. Its core purpose is to quickly transform creative text or photos into bead patterns that can actually be assembled, suitable for mainstream 5mm fuse bead brands such as Perler, Hama, Artkal, and Nabbi.
Main capabilities
- AI intelligent generation: Enter text descriptions such as "a cute cat wearing a hat," and without needing a reference image, AI can generate bead patterns in multiple styles in batches (cute, illustration, pixel art), optimizing outlines and color schemes for the bead craft process.
- Photo conversion: Supports common formats such as JPG, PNG, and WebP, converting photos into pixel-style bead patterns with one click. Built-in intelligent color matching and dominant color algorithms can reduce black edges, improve clarity, and allow a custom palette so that only the bead colors the user already has are used.
- Professional export: Provides an online editing tool to adjust the position of each bead, with undo/redo support. PDF or PNG templates with grid lines, color codes, and bead quantity statistics can be exported, supporting pattern sizes from 10x10 to 300x300.
- Material list: Automatically counts the required number of beads, making it convenient to purchase according to the list.
- Community gallery: Provides an inspiration library of free bead patterns including animals, cartoons, game characters, seasonal themes, and more.
How to use
- Text generation: Describe your idea or upload a photo, AI generates multiple options, choose a color system (Perler/Hama/Artkal), and download the template.
- Photo conversion: Upload an image, adjust the grid size and palette; conversion is free and does not require login.
- Download: Download watermarked PDF/PNG for free; activate an AI generation subscription to remove watermarks and hide ads.
Pricing and limitations
- Credits are used only for AI generation. Each successful generation consumes 10 credits (about 1 cartoon pattern). Failures are not charged, and adjusting the grid or palette of an already loaded image does not incur additional charges.
- Photo conversion is completely free and does not consume credits, and does not require login, but downloads are watermarked.
- Subscription plans: $59.99/year (2400 credits), $99.99/year (5040 credits), $199.99/year (12000 credits), billed annually, with credits issued in a lump sum, paid securely through Stripe. Credit packs are used only for AI generation and cannot remove watermarks.
- Bead pattern sizes support 10x10 to 300x300; it is recommended to use high-contrast images with clear subjects for better results.
