The service

BeadDot is a free web and iPhone app for designing, following and sharing bead patterns. We may change, add or remove features over time.

Your account

You can use BeadDot as a guest or with an account. Guest data is tied to your browser; if you clear your browser data or switch devices, you may lose access to it. We recommend creating an account to keep your patterns.

You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for what is done with it.

Your content

The patterns you create are yours. You give us the limited permission we need to store them, show them on your devices and provide the service.

You must have the necessary rights to the photos you use in the image-to-pattern tools.

Templates and color information

You may use the free templates on the site for your own beadwork. Please do not copy the templates in bulk and republish them elsewhere.

Miyuki, Delica and TOHO are trademarks of their respective owners; BeadDot is not affiliated with them. Colors shown on screen are approximate and may look different from the actual beads.

Acceptable use

When using BeadDot, you must not:

  • Try to disrupt or overload the service or get around its security.
  • Scrape the site in bulk with automated tools.
  • Create or share content that is illegal or infringes the rights of others.

Limitation of liability

BeadDot is provided “as is”. We do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Bead counts, measurements and estimates are guidance; please check them before buying materials. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damages arising from the use of BeadDot.

Closing your account

You can close your account at any time by writing to [email protected]. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.
