Can I export a printable PDF?

Does it work with Perler, Hama, and Artkal beads?
Yes. Beadify supports fuse bead palettes including Perler, Hama, and Artkal options, with bead IDs, names, and counts shown in the editor and print legend.
Can I make a bead pattern from an image?
Yes. Upload an image, start with an automatic pattern, then adjust colors, boards, inventory, and individual beads in the editor.
Is the Perler bead pattern maker free?
You can start for free and create a printable small pattern. Larger, clean, multi-board PDF packs and 4K exports are Pro features.
Do I need to sign up before uploading?
No. You can upload and begin editing without signup. Sign-in is required when you export PDF or want cloud-backed project storage.
Can I use only the beads I already own?
Yes. Add colors to My Inventory, then use inventory filtering so the generated pattern prefers beads you have available.
