About Image2Beads

Image2Beads is a free online tool that transforms any image into a step-by-step Perler beads (also known as iron beads or fuse beads) pattern. Whether you have a favorite character, logo, photo, or piece of artwork, our app converts it into a colorful bead grid that you can recreate on a pegboard at home.

Perler beads are a beloved craft activity enjoyed by children and adults alike. Creating bead art helps develop fine motor skills, color recognition, and patience — all while producing a tangible, beautiful result. However, turning an image into a usable bead pattern has traditionally required expensive software or a lot of manual effort. Image2Beads removes that barrier entirely.

Our app is designed for crafters of all skill levels. Simply upload an image or paste a URL, choose your grid size and color count, and within seconds you'll have a ready-to-use bead pattern. You can adjust the palette, preview the result, and download or save it to your personal library for future reference.

Image2Beads is built and maintained by a small team of makers and craft enthusiasts who believe creative tools should be accessible to everyone — which is why the core experience is completely free to use, no account required.
