RandoziBead Pattern Colour Counter
Type or paste your pattern with one row per line and a colour code in each cell, separated by spaces or commas. Use a dot for an empty cell. The page counts the beads of each colour, sorts them from the most used, and gives the total.
Beads in total
10
3 colours · 4 × 3 cells · 2 empty cells not counted
- G: 4
- B: 3
- R: 3
The grid stays in your browser: nothing is read from a picture and nothing is sent. Add spare beads for losses yourself.
How it works
- Write or paste the grid: one row per line, one code per cell, separated by spaces or commas.
- Use a dot (or a dash) for an empty cell.
- Read the count for each colour and the total number of beads.
- Copy the list as text or as CSV for your shopping list.

Questions
- What counts as a colour?
- Any code of up to 12 characters, such as R, 12, or a brand number. Codes are compared without regard to upper or lower case and shown in capitals, so r and R are the same colour. A dot or a dash is an empty cell and is not counted.
- Does it read a picture?
- No. You type or paste the grid. No image is read or uploaded, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
- How big can the grid be?
- Up to 500 rows, 500 cells per row and 40 000 cells in total. Every row needs the same number of cells.
- Does it tell me how many beads I really need?
- It gives the exact count of the cells in your grid. Spare beads for losses or mistakes are for you to add.
