What are fuse beads?
Fuse beads are small plastic beads arranged on a pegboard to make pixel art. An adult uses an iron and ironing paper to join the beads into one piece. Perler, Hama and Artkal are common brands.
Can I turn a photo into a Perler bead pattern?
Yes. Open Photo to pattern, choose a photo, set the grid and color count, then edit the result. The digital colors are approximate, so compare them with the physical beads you plan to use.
Is the web studio free?
Photo conversion and drawing are free to use in the browser. AI drafts may require signing in and available credits.
