Toonbead: Bead Pattern Maker

Turn a photo into a buildable fuse bead pattern on your iPhone. Tune size and colors, check materials, export your pattern, and craft board by board—even offline.

Turn a favorite photo into fuse bead art you can actually build.

Toonbead converts your photo into a clear bead pattern directly on your device. Use the complete Basic flow privately and offline, or sign in and optionally simplify the photo into clean AI artwork first. Choose a practical project size and color count, review the boards and materials you will need, then follow the pattern bead by bead.

CREATE FROM A PHOTO Start with a portrait, pet, gift idea, or another favorite image. Basic pattern creation runs locally with no account or upload required.

OPTIONAL AI ARTWORK Sign in for 3 free AI generations and turn a busy photo into simpler, bead-friendly artwork before conversion. Choose Pet Icon, Cute Portrait, Clean Cartoon, Retro Pixel, Pop Poster, or describe a custom direction. A compressed copy is uploaded only after you tap the AI action; pattern building and material counts still run on your device.

ADD GENERATIONS WHEN YOU NEED THEM Buy a one-time Apple In-App Purchase for 10, 30, or 100 AI generations. There is no subscription or automatic renewal. The signed-in account balance works on Toonbead for iPhone and on the web.

PLAN BEFORE YOU BUILD See the grid size, board layout, total bead count, color breakdown, and material quantities before placing the first bead.

BROWSE THE STUDIO COMMUNITY Explore 20 original Toonbead Studio artworks and their finished 58 × 58 bead grids. Compare the artwork and pattern, filter by style, share a community link, or use any artwork as the starting point for a new local draft—even offline.

CRAFT BOARD BY BOARD Use Crafting Mode to focus on a board or color, mark beads as you place them, and return to the same progress later—even offline.

KEEP PROJECTS ON YOUR DEVICE Save drafts and in-progress crafts locally. Your source photo and project do not need to leave your device.

EXPORT WHEN YOU ARE READY Share your pattern and materials information using the formats available in the app.
