DazzleBean

Photos, AI pixel art, and MARD bead charts

Create bead patterns you can actually build

Upload a photo or generate pixel art, detect the grid, match MARD bead colors, and export printable pattern PNGs with material lists.

From image to bead-ready chart

The workflow is built for real craft work: select the target area, detect or create pixel art, then convert it into a chart that is practical to follow.

1

Upload or redraw

Use your own image, or generate an AI pixel-style reference when the source is a normal photo.

2

Match bead colors

Choose the grid size, detect pixel blocks, and convert the image into MARD bead colors.

3

Export and refine

Download pattern PNGs and CSV lists, or manually paint, erase, cut out, and replace colors.

Designed for bead makers

DazzleBean focuses on printable patterns, material planning, and controlled edits.

Server-side compiler

Core pattern compilation runs on the backend, ready for accounts, credits, and paid workflows later.

Cost-aware AI

AI generation stays within 1024 x 1024 because pixel-style source images do not need oversized output.

MARD palettes

Supports regular 221 colors plus expanded 264 and 291 color candidates for different inventories.

Manual fixes

After conversion, adjust difficult areas with painting, erasing, cutout, replace-color, and eyedropper tools.
