Turn an image into a bead pattern you can actually make
Choose a clear PNG, JPEG, or WebP with a simple background. Start at 29 or 52 cells and crop before converting.
Check the source
Prefer a clear silhouette, grouped colors, and little tiny text. Pattern detail comes from the final cell count, not source resolution.
Crop and clean
Original ratio preserves framing; square mode uses a top-left crop. Smart cleanup only removes large near-white areas connected to an edge.
Judge the result
Check silhouette, isolated color noise, and bead count before editing critical cells.
