Image to Perler beads workflow

Choose a bead grid size

Start with 24x24 or 30x30 for easy patterns, then use 36x36, 40x40, or larger sizes for detailed pixel art.

Reduce colors before editing

Match the image to a limited bead palette, remove background colors, and avoid thousands of tiny color fragments.

Print, mirror, or split the guide

Export a normal guide, mirrored guide, color count list, or 2x2 split pattern for bigger fuse bead projects.

  1. Upload an image or start with a blank canvas.
  2. Adjust size, colors, and tool settings.
  3. Export the pattern, bead counts, and print guide.
