Krazy Stitcher
About Krazy Stitcher Studio
Krazy Stitcher Studio is the complete bead design environment for power users, pattern sellers, and professional designers. It includes every feature in Pro — all 25 stitch types, brand remapping, inventory tracking, difficulty scoring, SVG/CSV export, a rotatable 3D preview, Color Reduction, 300 DPI hi-res export, Enhanced Backup (Version History), and the full toolkit — plus a suite of advanced capabilities that no other bead software offers at any price. The color harmony engine analyzes your palette and suggests complementary, analogous, and triadic alternatives. The templates library gives you 66 starter designs across geometric, nature, holiday, and alphabet categories, so you never start from a blank canvas unless you want to.
Studio's advanced layer system lets you build complex multi-layer patterns with independent visibility, opacity, and lock controls — essential for designs that overlay text on backgrounds or combine multiple motifs. The pattern scale tool resizes your work while preserving color relationships, and the multi-pattern workspace lets you have several designs open simultaneously for side-by-side comparison. Import patterns from BeadTool (.bead), CSV grid, or plain-text hex-grid formats so you can bring your existing library into Krazy Stitcher without starting over. The stitch-along autoplay walks you through your pattern bead by bead in the correct stitching order — a built-in teacher for learning new stitch types. Batch Export bundles PDF/PNG output for multiple saved patterns into a single .zip download, exclusive to Studio. Batch Photo Import runs the other direction — convert a whole folder of photos into separate patterns in one pass, using the same conversion settings as a single import. Working on something oversized? Split & Recompose divides a large pattern into a grid of tiles you can work on one at a time, then recombines them into the finished whole — included in Pro as well, but especially handy here for Studio's oversized, professional-scale projects. All of this runs in your browser, works offline, and costs less than a single tube of Miyuki Delicas.

*Cloud Backup is manual: use Backup All to export a .ksbackup file, then save it into a cloud-synced folder (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.) for automatic off-device backup and cross-device access. Krazy Stitcher itself never uploads anything — all patterns stay stored locally in your browser.
