BeadDraft turns a photo or text into an editable fuse-bead pattern. Crop the image, choose the grid width and number of colours, then clean up stray beads and swap colours by hand. Exports include a printable PDF chart, a PNG, a CSV bead list and a project file. Free, no account, and images are processed on your device. Still labelled a prototype by its maker.
Prices, shipping and features change. Check beaddraft.com for current details.
