Two ways to generate a pattern

A bead pattern generator should meet you where you start. Have a photo? BeadFuse converts it right in your browser — free, unlimited, nothing uploaded. Only have an idea? Type it ("cute axolotl", "cherry blossom branch") and the AI generator draws a bead-friendly design with flat colors and clean outlines, then converts it to a chart the same way.

Either path ends in the same place: a grid matched to real bead colors — Perler, Hama, or Beadery pony beads — with a per-color bead count and a printable PDF chart. That's the difference between a pattern generator built for beads and a generic pixelator.

A generator built for real beads

AI idea-to-pattern

Describe a design and the AI draws it in a bead-friendly pixel style — flat colors, clean outlines, white background — then converts it like any photo.

Real bead palettes

Perler 103, Hama 92, and Beadery pony 39 — measured or sampled real colors, never generic RGB swatches.

Perceptual color matching

CIEDE2000 matching in Lab space lands each pixel on the bead color a human would pick.

Bead shopping list

Exact counts per color, sorted by usage, so you buy the right bags the first time.

Board-by-board PDF

Large patterns split into labeled 29×29 pegboard sections with coordinates.

Private by design

Photo conversion never leaves your browser. No uploads, no storage, no watermark.

Bead pattern generator questions

Is BeadFuse really free?

Yes. Converting photos, matching bead colors, and downloading the PDF chart are free with no account and no watermark. Optional Pro credits only power AI pattern generation — the core converter stays free forever.

Does my photo get uploaded to a server?

No. The whole conversion runs inside your browser — your photo never leaves your device. That's also why the sliders feel instant.

What do I get in the PDF?

A cover page with a preview, one page per pegboard section (with row and column numbers so you can follow along), and a legend page with every color's code, name, and exact bead count.

How does AI generation work?

Type a short idea and the generator draws a bead-friendly image (flat colors, limited palette, clean outlines), then converts it into a chart with real bead colors. One generation costs one credit; new accounts get 10 free credits and daily check-in earns more.
