GuideFrom photo to printable bead pattern, these steps are enough to get started.
If this is your first time, try 48×48 or 64×64 first. Larger sizes keep more detail, but they also require more beads, colors, and making time.
01Auto-generate a pattern
- Open Studio and upload a clear image. A clear subject usually gives a better result.
- Choose bead style, width, height, palette brand, and max color count.
- After generation, check the preview, color counts, and detailed areas.
- If needed, replace colors or edit individual cells inside the workspace.
- Export PDF or PNG when ready. PDF export uses credits based on the current setting.
02Coloring studio
- Upload an image to generate a line-art guide and recommended colors.
- Pick a color on the right, then click or drag cells with the brush.
- Use selection to batch fill or clear an area; use eyedropper to copy an existing color.
- For long sessions, save a draft and continue later after logging in.
- Export PDF when finished. Blank cells remain on the sheet but are not counted in the legend.
03Sharing and downloads
- Account pattern records keep exported PNG/PDF files.
- You can share works to the gallery and choose free or paid download.
- After sharing publicly, other users can view, favorite, like, and comment.
- Daily check-in, sharing to the gallery, and receiving likes can earn credits, depending on admin settings.
04Tips
- For portraits, pets, and characters, use images with a clear subject and simple background.
- Start with a moderate size before attempting a large project.
- More colors are not always better; too many colors make preparation and making harder.
- Before exporting, check page splitting and the color list for obvious outline or missing-color issues.
