How to Use a Perler Bead Pattern While You Build

Upload an image here and open the created Project directly in Crafting. Keep the Pattern unchanged while you mark physical bead placement and return to the same local Project later.

  • Click, drag, or use the keyboard
  • Track completed cells
  • Reset progress without editing the Pattern

A making view that leaves the design alone

Crafting mode records physical placement progress separately from Pattern editing and export history.

Readable grid and legend
Use the Pattern cells and color references to decide which bead belongs at each position.
Flexible marking
Mark completed cells with a click, a drag across neighboring cells, or keyboard controls.
Visible progress
See the completed count and percentage as the physical build moves forward.
Safe reset
Clear the local placement record after confirmation without changing the Pattern design.

Create a Pattern and open its making view

The uploader creates the Project and opens Crafting directly. Uploads, examples, the latest Project, and Advanced options all arrive in the same workspace.

  1. Choose a source image

    Upload an image here, choose an example, continue the latest Project, or open Advanced options before creating.

  2. Open directly in Crafting

    After the Project is ready, Beadify opens its Crafting workspace with the exact grid and palette information.

  3. Mark physical progress

    Mark beads as you place them, watch the completion count, and leave the Pattern design itself unchanged.

Ways to stay oriented during a build

Pick a physical making rhythm that suits the Pattern; Crafting records what is complete rather than choosing the rhythm for you.

Work one color at a time

Use the legend to find a color, place the matching beads, and mark each finished cell.

Move across a row or small section

Follow a manageable area of the grid and use drag marking when neighboring cells are complete.

Pause a long project

Close the browser after progress is saved locally, then return to the same Project on that browser.

Check for missed beads

Use the remaining unmarked cells to scan the board before ironing or assembling sections.

Crafting questions

How progress marking relates to the Pattern and your browser.

Does Crafting change my Pattern?

No. Crafting records which cells you have placed without changing the Pattern grid, edit history, or export result.

How do I open Crafting mode?

Upload an image, choose an example, continue the latest Project, or use Advanced options here. Beadify opens that Project directly in Crafting.

Can I mark several beads quickly?

Yes. You can click individual cells, drag across cells, or use the keyboard controls while the Crafting view is active.

Will progress sync to another device?

Not currently. Crafting progress is local to the browser and Project, so use the same browser when you return to the build.

What happens when I reset progress?

After confirmation, the local completion marks are cleared. The Pattern design itself remains unchanged.
