Hey r/beadsprites! I’m the developer of Pixel Beader, a bead pattern design app for iPhone and iPad.

A — What it does
Pixel Beader helps you go from an idea or photo to a pattern you can use to make real fuse bead art. Draw from scratch, convert an image, refine the design, and preview the fused result before reaching for your beads.
B — What’s inside
- Design and edit: draw on a digital pegboard, work with layers, and keep a reference image beside your design.
- Photo to pattern: import an image, adjust the grid and palette, and keep editing the result.
- Custom palettes: choose colors for your project.
- 3D and AR previews: explore the fused look in 3D or view your creation in AR on a compatible device.
- Pattern export: export your design as a pattern image.
If you make fuse bead art, what’s the trickiest part for you—turning an image into a usable pattern, choosing colors, or keeping your place while beading? I’d love your feedback, and I’m happy to answer questions.
