PHOTO TO PATTERN

Make a fuse bead pattern from your photo.

Every colored square is one bead. Beadia turns your image into a coded grid so you can choose supplies and follow the design one bead at a time.

1. Choose a clear photo

Use a photo with a distinct subject and simple background. Crop around the person, pet or object, and remove the background only when necessary. Check that important details are still visible before generating.

2. Choose the grid and colors

A larger grid keeps more detail but requires more beads. For 2.6 mm beads, a 52 × 52 design measures approximately 5.32 × 5.32 inches; 104 × 104 measures approximately 10.65 × 10.65 inches. A smaller color palette can make your first project easier to follow.

3. Unlock and follow your pattern

Generate a PDF pattern for 1 Creation Point or receive access after a verified eligible checkout. Open your unlocked pattern in the same creation page. Select a color to highlight its beads, use row and column coordinates to find a cell, and mark completed beads to see how many remain.

4. Get the right supplies

The pattern includes color codes and counts. Check your bead brand and size before starting; screen colors may differ from physical beads. Choose materials and tools separately if you already have some supplies.
