【PerlerBeads.】 turns your photos, AI-generated chibi art and hand-drawn ideas into perler bead patterns with color codes, and keeps track of every bead you own. Photo to Pattern Pick a photo from your library and crop it, then let the app match the board pegs and brand color codes for you. The result is a pixel pattern you can follow bead by bead. AI Chibi Style Turn a portrait or a pet photo into a chibi pixel image that is already aligned to the bead grid. This helps when a photo carries too much detail to translate into beads directly. Draw on a Blank Canvas Start from an empty board and work with brush, fill, mirror and move tools. Useful for original designs, small icons, or touching up a pattern you generated earlier. Guided Bead Mode A 10x10 grid highlights one section at a time while a timer records how long you spend. Finished sections are saved as you go, so a large pattern is easy to put down and pick up again. Bead Stock Management Record the beads you already own and set a threshold for each color. Colors running short appear in a restock list, and finishing a pattern can deduct the beads it used in one step. Export and Print Save a pattern as an image or as a printable sheet, with a color chart included if you want one. Files are written to your photo library or the Files app. From a single photo to a finished piece, the whole process stays organized in one place. Download it and start your first pattern.
