Hello everyone I'm the developer of Bedoura, a windows application that converts images to beads, I pretend to release in the next days and I want some feedback about look and the other things.

Currently, you can import PNG images, preferably up to 300×300 pixels, and choose between Mini, Midi, Caps, and Max bead sizes. Bedoura also includes color palettes from Artkal, Hama, Perler, and Nabbi, with the option to customize and mix colors within the same bead size.

You can also divide your design based on different pegboard sizes, such as 29×29, 50×50, and Artkal’s 52×52. The program shows where the pegboards will be divided and tells you how many you’ll need.

Other features include grid lines, English, Portuguese and Spanish languages, horizontal flipping, which is especially useful for the tape method, and a fully customizable color conversion process where you can change the suggested colors.

Also you can export your design as a PDF. The PDF includes the complete design with color codes, and if you divide the image into pegboards, it will also generate a separate page for each pegboard, giving you an individual map for each section.

Keep in mind that the program is in very early state, so a lot of new things will come, but for now I will call it a day.

That’s it for now stay tuned in the next days!
