What it does
About Bitbead
Bitbead is a web-based pattern generator built for crafters creating fuse bead projects. By applying the CIEDE2000 perceptual color distance formula, the software maps uploaded image pixels to matching real bead colors across popular brand palettes. After automatic quantization, users can manually adjust designs using integrated tools such as brush, eraser, magic wand, and color picker. Bitbead executes image processing, dithering, and PDF creation entirely client-side in the browser, keeping photos private while exporting printable charts with precise bead counts and per-color shopping lists.
