## FAQ

### Does BeadDraft upload my photos?

No. Images are read and converted in the browser. There is no account and no upload step.

### What image formats and sizes are accepted?

JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 15 MB and roughly 24 megapixels.

### Can text be turned into a bead pattern?

Yes. Switch the input to Text and type a short word or name.

### How does the grid size work?

Set the width in beads. The height follows the crop, and both dimensions are capped at 120.

### Can the pattern be edited by hand?

Yes. You can paint, fill and erase cells, protect details, simplify stray beads, replace colors, and undo changes.

### Does Simplify target a specific number of colors?

No. Simplify cleans up isolated one- or two-bead specks; use Max colors before generation to cap the new grid's palette.

### What can be exported?

The tool exports a printable chart, a bead list and an editable backup.

### Which bead brands does it support?

New patterns use Perler-compatible color references. The grid itself is brand-independent, but physical shades should be checked against the beads in the kit.
