About Perler Beads

What Perler Beads Does

Perler Beads is a free browser-based pattern maker that turns photos, illustrations, logos, and pixel art into practical fuse-bead patterns. It supports real Perler, Hama, Artkal, Nabbi, and MARD color systems, editable grids, material counts, build progress, and printable exports.

The goal is simple: help makers go from an image to a pattern they can actually build, without requiring professional design software or an account.

Built Around the Crafting Process

The tool is designed around the decisions makers face at the pegboard:

• choosing a bead brand and colors they can obtain;
• selecting a realistic board size;
• cleaning up individual cells before building;
• checking color codes and bead quantities; and
• exporting a pattern that remains useful away from the screen.

Privacy by Default

Source images are decoded, converted, edited, and exported in your browser. The pattern maker does not upload the original image to our servers. Saved projects, progress, and personal palettes stay in your browser unless you choose to export or share them.

You can read the full details in our Privacy Policy.
