Most photo-to-bead-pattern tools stop at a pretty preview, or want a signup before they'll let you print anything. What you actually need at the craft table is the boring stuff: how many beads of each colour, how many pegboards, how big it'll be when it's finished, and what to buy. That's what Bitbead does. Drop in a photo, pick your brand — Perler, Hama, Artkal, MARD or COCO — and it matches against 1,400+ real bead colours using CIEDE2000 instead of nearest-RGB, which makes a visible difference on skin tones and gradients. You get the chart, exact bead counts, real-world dimensions, pegboard count and a per-colour shopping list. Everything runs in your browser — the photo never leaves your machine, and there's no account. Free up to 64 beads wide. Happy to answer anything about the colour matching.
