Kandi Pattern Maker turns photos into bead charts

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based tool for converting photos or blank grids into editable square bead charts, with bead counts and PNG, PDF, CSV, or share-link outputs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-29 issue.

For: People planning woven kandi cuffs and bead patterns
Worth noticing: The page clarifies that its square grid is not a Peyote or X-base stringing diagram, and PDF spacing is not finished cuff size.

Field notes

The interface offers photo upload or paste, sample patterns, and a blank-chart option; image adjustments include cropping, grid size, color limits, palette choices, and dithering. Users can then paint, erase, or pick individual cells and review color counts. The page says edits autosave in the browser while the source photo is not saved, and cautions that the chart plans colors rather than supplying a stitch-specific thread path.
