Questions before you start

Why does my converted pattern lose detail?

Every bead represents one large pixel. Increase the grid size for more detail, or simplify the source image so the subject remains clear at low resolution.

Should I enable dithering?

Dithering can imitate gradients with neighboring colors, but it may create a busier build. Turn it off for flatter icons and bold cartoon artwork.

Can transparent images be converted?

Yes. Transparent areas can be treated as empty cells or placed on a white background, depending on the selected transparency option.

Will screen colors match my physical beads exactly?

Not always. Displays, lighting, manufacturers, and bead batches vary. Treat the preview as a planning aid and compare the legend with your physical palette.
