PicoBead
Photos to Bead Patterns
Free
Turn any photo or illustration into a practical fuse-bead pattern.
PicoBead is designed for makers, crafters, and pixel-art fans. Create clear patterns while keeping control over every important detail.
CREATE YOUR PATTERN
• Import a photo, illustration, or pixel-art image
• Choose from three fuse-bead color palettes
• Adjust the number of beads across
• Limit the maximum number of colors
• Fine-tune color intensity, detail, and smoothing
• Apply error diffusion for more natural color transitions
SMART BACKGROUND REMOVAL
Automatically isolate the main subject and remove unwanted background areas. Empty cells remain transparent in your exported PNG.
PLAN EVERY BEAD
• Preview the pattern with optional bead holes
• Zoom in to inspect individual positions
• View matched color names and color codes
• See the exact quantity required for every color
• Check the total bead count before you begin
EXPORT AND CREATE
Save your finished pattern as a high-resolution PNG for printing, sharing, or referencing while you build.
PRIVATE ON-DEVICE PROCESSING
Your photos, color matching, pattern generation, and exports are processed directly on your device. Your source images do not need to be uploaded to a server.
Start with 10 image conversions. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited conversions.
