Bead Grid Maker

Two ways to fill a bead grid: draw it square by square in the free editor, or convert a photo into a ready-made grid — both with real bead colors.

  • Grid editor with undo/redo for drawing from scratch
  • Photo converter fills a grid automatically in seconds
  • Real Perler, Hama & pony palettes with printable charts

Draw it or convert it

A bead grid is just squares mapped to bead colors — but filling it by hand pixel-by-pixel is slow, and generic grid tools use screen colors no bead matches. BeadFuse gives you both routes: a grid editor for drawing designs square by square with undo/redo, and a photo converter that fills the grid for you and lets you touch it up after.

Either way, every square snaps to a real bead color — Perler, Hama, or pony — so the finished grid doubles as a shopping list. Print it as a free chart with counts, or save it to your account and keep editing later.

Grid maker 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.

Can I start from a blank grid?

Yes — the grid editor opens with an empty board you can paint square by square with real bead colors. Or convert a photo first and use the editor to refine it.
