Description
Who doesn't love the fun and creative hobby of making fuse or melty bead designs and art. From kids to grownups, from toddlers to professional artists.
BeadStudio enables you to craft creative and beautiful designs and patterns before transferring them to real pegboards making them permanent by ironing the fuse beads.
Explore new ideas and designs in the comfort of your sofa, backseat of the car or in the bus - not easily done with real melty beads.
Many different people are already using BeadStudio - from kids to artists - using it as a tool for their own designs, photorealistic artworks or pixel arts or just for recreation and meditation.
Use the built-in photo to bead conversion tool and transform your family photos, cat or landscape into designs using exactly the brand and colors of beads you have available. BeadStudio supports all the major brands of fuse beads such as Hama Beads, Perler Beads, Artkal Beads, Nabbi Beads or Pyssla Beads in freehand artworks, figures like unicorns, bunnies, dinosaurs etc. and when making photorealistic designs. BeadStudio supports mixing different types of beads in one single custom palette. You need that special green from brand A in your otherwise perfect brand B set of melty beads? No problem just make a custom palette!
Try out the new entertaining, meditative and calming feature: Bead By Numbers which is very similar to Paint By Numbers. Chose a variety of readily available figures, shapes and animals such as bunny, unicorn, butterfly, dinosaur, dog and many more. Each peg is numbered, select the matching fuse bead from the palette and start filling out the pattern. Bead by numbers helps kids improve their motor skills and stimulates them to try out other similar designs using the basic design as inspiration, just with different colors. Zooming in makes the beads big enough for even the smallest fingers - BeadStudio is easy to use for kids and adults alike.
Fuse beads can be used for many different designs and projects - inspiration is all around the internet with fun and beautiful ideas like Christmas ornaments, alphabets, jewelry, necklaces, keychains, fridge magnets and even bowls baked in the oven. All perfect gifts for parents and grand-parents.
Fuse beads has been around for a long time and will continue to be a creative and entertaining pastime for all ages where in the later years melty beads has become a cool, hip and trendy thing where dedicated groups of grown-ups around the world are cultivating this hobby celebrating a nostalgic trip back to their childhood. Using BeadStudio is as simple as finger painting. Create a new standard rectangular board or chose from many of the readymade templates, shapes and figures. If you want to change the design into real beads afterwards you should chose the brand of beads you have available such as Hama Beads, Perler Beads, Artkal Beads, Nabbi Beads or Pyssla Beads. If you don’t have all the colors then just make your own palette with the colors you have, where mixing beads from different brands is possible. Use the different tools available for placing single beads at a time or drawing/painting with the brush tool. Making mistakes is part of it; this is where undo/redo and the eraser tool comes in handy.
Generating boards from photos can make some marvelous designs, and you can control many aspects of the image before conversion such as dithering, coloring and lighting. Use the crop tool to select which area of the photo you want to convert, just set the size of the board you want to make first (such as 58x58 beads) and then the aspect ratio of the cropping area is fixed. You can now select the area and zoom in and out to your liking; it’s really simple and easy to use!

Great app! Now I can start selling perler art, only thing I have a concern with is i don't know how to make the perler bead projects on smaller board look 😄😅
★★★★★Amberphylaxis· Jan 14, 2025
I really like this app. It is probably the best application for creating Perler bead templates. I would suggest that the developer add more colors and add the ability to add your own colors to the color palettes. I have some Perler bead colors that aren't included in the palette like Moss, Celery, Mocha, Thistle, Sage, Coral, etc. I also wish there was a way to select what kind of pegboard you would like to use for the picture function instead of always defaulting to the square pegboard.
★★★★★Susanna Bird· Sep 6, 2015
Love it! I adore this app. I spend tons of time making patterns for my perler beads. I do have a few notes that I would like to see maybe happen in the future: the colors could be truer to the perler beads real shades and maybe add the metallic, striped, and neon/glitter colors? That would make this app perfect!

Very confusing and hard to use. It crashed every time I tried to save my work and did not let me change the size of the perler bead pattern. Though, there were not many adds.

So I paid for this app, so I could make patterns from my own images but whenever I use the generate from photo option it just gives me a blank canvas! Worked the first couple of times but now nothing. Sort it out or It's just a waste of money. I can find bead patterns on the Internet or pint rest, the whole point if this app was, so I could make my own patterns from my own images.

It has many options and the color palette of different brands seems super complete, although it does not have an option that suggests the size that best suits your projects, which makes it difficult to start. Edit: After I used for a long time I watch a big and terrible problem with the is color match with the palette colors and the original image, for some reason the app add a lot of variety of colors who didn't exist in the original image, I loaded an image whit literally 10–15 colors and the app create the design with more than 30 colors and the worst part ir that colors don't even match in a bit. (IDK if I'm using it wrong) Other problem is the PNG formart not is exactly perfect for be printed, but this is just an opinion
