Do I need an account?
Local image conversion, editing, and exports work without signing in. Publishing, detailed marketplace color usage, opening shared patterns, and JSON downloads require an account.
Which export formats are supported?
PNG and PDF charts, Excel materials lists, and editable JSON project files.
Are my images uploaded?
Conversion and editing happen in your browser. Only patterns you actively publish to the marketplace are sent to the server.
Will physical bead colors match the screen?
The palette is a matching aid. Screens, lighting, and manufacturing batches affect color; check actual beads before preparing supplies.
