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 photo-to-bead patterns. Pro Pattern is planned as a $5 one-time upgrade with smarter subject cropping, better color matching, larger sizes, and cleaner printable PDFs.
