What is a browser-based pixel beads pattern generator?

It's a web app that converts images to fuse bead (perler) patterns locally, using brand palettes, outputting grids and PDFs — no servers.

How do you map image colors to bead palettes?

Euclidean distance in RGB space finds the nearest match; loop through palette, sqrt the diffs, pick the minimum.

Does this work offline?

Yes — all Canvas, no external deps beyond browser APIs; palettes hardcoded.
