Design seed bead patterns

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

All-in-one beading studio: create seed bead patterns with touch-native tools, preview designs in live 3D, weave with step-by-step guidance, and export print-ready PDFs. START FREE — LIVE 3D DESIGN EDITOR Start free with ready-made layouts for popular beadwork designs, including loom bracelets, fringe earrings, and peyote rings. Every user gets live 3D preview, the Origami tool, and essential drawing tools from the start. Create jewelry using classic bead-weaving techniques like loom, peyote, and brick stitch. Work on a canvas built for real beadwork, with tools like pencil, eraser, bucket, and pipette for accurate seed bead placement. Every change on the canvas appears instantly in live 3D preview, with no refresh needed! BeadPainter uses native multi-touch gestures throughout the editor, so drawing, erasing, moving, rotating, and zooming feel fast and natural. On iPad, edit the pattern in 2D while previewing your design in 3D side by side for full real-time control. With the Origami tool, you can switch between flat and cylindrical shapes in the 3D preview, making it easy to mix and match shapes and techniques for pendants, earrings, rings, and bracelets. Pro users get advanced tools for editing, resizing, and reusing pattern areas — including selection, shift, duplicate, stamps, and precision adjustments. Smart long-press gestures speed up your workflow, while built-in hints help you master every tool with ease.
