PixelBead: Bead Pattern Maker

Turn any photo into a fuse bead pattern you can actually make. PixelBead is a bead pattern maker for Perler, Hama and Artkal beads: it matches your picture to real bead colors, counts every bead you need, and guides you through the build color by color.

Photo to bead pattern
• Import a photo from your library, take one with the camera, or start from a blank canvas or a template
• Automatic matching to real bead colors
• Pegboard presets from a single board up to 4×4 joined boards (for example 29×29 to 116×116)
• Custom pattern size from 10 to 200 beads, plus a color limit to keep the design simple
• Remove the background or add an outline so the subject stands out (Premium)
• AI subject extraction in Faithful, Cartoon, Pixel or Silhouette style (Premium)

Real bead brands
Perler, Hama, Artkal S, Artkal C (2.6 mm mini beads) and Nabbi palettes are built in. Create your own palette with HEX or RGB colors, or switch a finished pattern to another brand and every color is matched again.

Edit every bead
• Brush, fill, eraser, eyedropper, text and crop tools
• Replace one color across the whole pattern (Premium)
• Round or square bead view
• Undo and redo up to 100 steps

Build with confidence
Follow the Perler bead pattern color by color, with a bead count for each color. Mark colors as done and pick up where you left off. When you are ready, export a printable PDF with row numbers, color codes and a bead count list, or save PNG pages to your gallery (Premium).

Ideas to make
Fuse bead keychains, coasters, magnets, pet portraits, game characters, pixel art gifts and classroom crafts.

1. Choose a photo
2. Pick your bead brand, board size and number of colors
