A little tool, built with love

I'm a dad who built BeadSnap on weekend afternoons so my kids and I could turn our favorite photos into bead crafts at the kitchen table. No ads, no signups, no nonsense - just a tiny tool that hopefully sparks a few rainy-day art sessions in your home too.

Your photos never leave your browser - everything runs locally for your privacy.

Want a cleaner automatic pattern?

The free tool is great for quick tests. Pro Pattern is a $5 one-time upgrade for larger patterns, smarter cropping, cleaner colors, printable PDFs, and a shopping list built for real bead projects.
