What early users say

Loved by makers and parents alike

“This turned my daughter’s cat photo into a perfect weekend craft.” — Beta user

Ridiculously fast. I sized a 4‑board portrait and had a PDF in under a minute.

Color limiting saved me from buying extra beads — used only what I had on hand.

The PDF legend made it simple for my classroom. Kids followed along without confusion.
