From a photo
to your next creation.

Help with photo-to-bead patterns, saved projects, BeadPattern Pro and printing.

Get in touch

Email the developer at shotpocket6@gmail.com. Include “BeadPattern” and your app version/build.

Start a project

In Studio, choose a photo or take one with the camera. Crop it, choose a board layout and color limit, then create your pattern.

Compare the photo, bead preview and symbol view. Paint, erase or replace colors, save your work, and follow your bead-by-bead progress.

Language and names

Tap the globe at the top of Studio to choose English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch or Français.

Automatic project names follow your app language. Custom names stay as entered. For an older name, open Rename and choose Use automatic name if you want it to follow the selected language.

Always free

Create single-board 29 × 29 patterns with 8, 12 or 16 colors. Photo import, cropping, background removal, editing, saving, making progress, material counts and PNG sharing without a watermark are included.

There is no set limit on the number of local projects. Themes and all seven app languages are free.

BeadPattern Pro

One non-consumable lifetime unlock. No subscription or automatic renewal.

Pro adds layouts up to 3 × 3 boards (87 × 87 beads), 24 and 32 color limits, PDF patterns, tiled printing and CSV material lists. The app shows the current price supplied by the App Store.

Price or region

Open the Pro screen and select Refresh price. The App Store region and currency shown there come from StoreKit. Changing the app language does not change your purchasing region.

If the price cannot load, use Retry. For an unexpected price, send the displayed region, currency, price and message with your app version/build. Do not send your Apple password or payment-card details.

Restore Purchases

Use Restore Purchases on the Pro card in Studio or Appearance, or in the BeadPattern Pro screen. Use the Apple account that made the purchase; an internet connection may be required.

Restoring Pro does not restore deleted projects. A purchase already verified on this device can remain usable offline; a refund or revocation may appear after reconnecting.

Your saved work

A missing price, going offline, not buying Pro or losing an entitlement does not delete or resize existing projects. Existing projects remain accessible; new higher-specification work and advanced exports follow current access.

Keep copies of exports you want to preserve. Avoid deleting and reinstalling the app as a first troubleshooting step: removing app data can remove local projects.

Guides, printing and colors

Board guides mark boundaries between pegboards. A single 29 × 29 board has no internal board boundary. Changing guide visibility does not change your saved beads.

The current palette is a demonstration palette, not a verified manufacturer's catalog. Compare it with your beads. Print the calibration page at actual size, measure it and compare it with your board before printing a full pattern. Printer scaling affects the result.

Report a problem

App version/build, device model, iOS/iPadOS version and selected language.
The steps that led to the issue and any message or diagnostic code.
For price issues: the region and currency shown on the Pro screen.
For printing: paper size, scaling setting and measured calibration length.
