Craft software for bead artists

Turn any image
into a bead pattern
worth making.

Beadify is a small, careful tool for bead artists. Import a photo, pick fuse or a woven stitch, and get a color-matched chart — pegboard-ready for Perler, Hama and Artkal, or charted for loom, peyote and brick — with the palette translated to the beads you already own.

A studio that
stays out of the way.

Every control is where your hands expect it. A floating toolset on the left, the pattern in the middle, the palette and bead counts on the right — nothing buried in menus, nothing flashing for attention.

Built for the parts
that actually take time.

Finding the right bead color. Reading a chart mid-stitch. Counting what you need to order. Every feature replaces a tedious step.

№ 01 — Conversion

Photo in, pattern out — in under two seconds.

Edge-aware quantization keeps contour lines crisp instead of muddy. Four presets tuned for cartoon, pixel art, photo, and logo source material.

№ 02 — Brand matching

Colors translated to the beads on your desk.

Miyuki Delica, Preciosa, and Toho libraries built in. Every palette slot lists its nearest SKU with a visible distance — pick the closest or hand-tune.

Core ink · dark base · ΔE 0.9
Shadow ink · mid dark · ΔE 1.1

№ 03 — Wordchart mode

Tick off rows as you stitch. Never lose your place.

A follow-along reader that highlights the current row and keeps your progress between sessions — even if your phone dies mid-weave.

№ 06 — Made for craft

No AI slop. No dark patterns. Just a tool.

Beadify is built by beadworkers and engineers. We sell subscriptions, not your data. Cancel in two clicks — we won't ask why.

"Beading software that respects the craft."
— The principle we build to

Perler & fuse bead
patterns, first-class.

One bead per peg, straight onto the board. Upload pixel art or a photo and Beadify turns it into a fuse bead chart with Perler, Hama and Artkal color codes, every color counted, and a pegboard-ready PDF with ironing instructions.

Pegboard-ready charts

Pick the square grid and read the chart straight onto the board. Works with Perler, Hama, Artkal, and Nabbi beads — midi 5 mm or mini 2.6 mm.

Pixel art stays pixel-perfect

Pixel-exact import maps one pixel to one bead — no resampling, no blur. Sprites come out exactly as drawn.

Shopping list included

The free PDF lists how many beads of each color you need, so you sort once and never run short mid-board.

Questions,
answered.

The things people ask before their first pattern. Still stuck? Read the blog or email [email protected].

Is Beadify free to use?
Yes. Beadify has a free plan with no time limit — up to 5,000 beads per pattern, 20 colors, 5 saved patterns, live brand color matching, and full PDF export. Every new account also starts with a free 7-day Pro trial — no card needed. Paid plans (Pro at $8.90/month, Ultra at $18.90/month) unlock larger patterns, more colors, brand codes baked into your PDF, and more.
How does the photo-to-bead-pattern conversion work?
Upload any photo and Beadify converts it to a color-matched bead chart in under two seconds using edge-aware quantization to keep contour lines crisp. You can then match colors to Miyuki, Preciosa, or Toho bead catalogs.
Which bead brands does Beadify support?
Beadify includes built-in color libraries for Miyuki Delica, Preciosa, and Toho beads. It matches your photo colors to the closest available bead colors from the brand of your choice.
Which stitch types does Beadify support?
Beadify generates patterns for fuse beads (pegboard) and for loom, peyote, and brick stitch. The chart layout automatically adjusts to the selected technique — fuse and loom use a straight square grid, peyote and brick are staggered.
Does Beadify work for perler and fuse beads?
Yes — fuse is a first-class technique. Pick Fuse and the chart maps one bead per pegboard peg with real color codes matched for Perler, Hama, and Artkal (midi 5mm and mini 2.6mm). The free PDF export includes a numbered chart, a per-color shopping list, and step-by-step ironing instructions. You can even track the beads you own and match patterns only against your stash.
Can I turn pixel art into a bead pattern?
Yes. Beadify detects pixel-art grids and imports them exactly — one pixel becomes one bead, with no resampling or blur. The Pixel Art preset keeps outlines crisp with no dithering, which is ideal for sprites and beadsprites on a perler pegboard or a loom chart.
Can I export my bead pattern as a PDF?
Yes — every plan includes PDF export, including Free. Each PDF has a numbered grid, letter-coded beads, a wordchart, and a shopping list with bead counts — ready to print and use at your workbench. Pro and Ultra PDFs add matched bead codes for Miyuki Delica, Preciosa, and Toho.
Can I share patterns with other beaders?
Yes. You can share a pattern link that opens in any browser — zoomable and with the full palette already loaded. Ultra plan members can make patterns publicly shareable.

Three plans.
All of them honest.

Start free forever. Upgrade the day a bigger pattern stops fitting, not before. No usage-based surprises, no credits to burn.
