Meltbead is a free, browser-based toolkit for fuse bead creators. Turn any photo or illustration into an editable bead pattern, match colors across Perler, Artkal, Hama, and MARD palettes, and fine-tune every cell with simple editing tools. Get exact bead counts, then export your finished project as a PNG, printable PDF, or CSV material list. No account is required, and your images stay in your browser.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built Meltbead because turning an image into a fuse bead project often involves jumping between pixel-art tools, incomplete color charts, spreadsheets, and manual bead counting.
Meltbead brings that workflow into one simple, browser-based workspace. You can upload a photo or illustration, convert it into a bead grid, choose from Perler, Artkal, Hama, or MARD color references, and edit individual cells until the pattern looks right. When you’re ready to build, Meltbead provides exact color counts and exports the project as a PNG, printable PDF, or CSV material list.
There’s no account required, and uploaded images are processed locally in your browser.
This is the first version, and I’d especially love feedback on color matching, the editing experience, and which tools or bead brands you’d like to see next.
Thanks for checking out Meltbead! 🟠
