Official Perler & Hama Codes
Every pixel snaps to real plastic colors with exact codes (#P18 Black, #P01 White, #P05 Red) so your finished melt looks identical.
Color Isolation Filter
Highlight one bead color at a time while dimming the rest. Never strain your eyes searching for pins on a busy board.
Desk Companion Mode
Keep the Android app on your crafting table to tap-to-mark beads as you place them. Saves progress automatically across days.
Everything you need to know about
photo bead crafting
How do I convert a photo to a Perler bead pattern?
Drop your photo into the converter above. Pixelify scales it to your pegboard resolution (e.g. 29×29) and quantizes colors to official Perler and Hama shades. You can print the chart or follow along on your phone.
Can I get an exact bead shopping list?
Yes! Pixelify calculates the exact bead counts per color code so you know exactly which bags to buy before starting.
What is the best way to melt Perler beads?
We strongly recommend the Painter’s Tape Method to protect your plastic boards from heat warping, followed by parchment paper on medium iron heat.
