About PixoMosaic
PixoMosaic publishes a free web application that turns photos into Perler bead patterns, color counts, and printable charts.
The canonical site is https://web.pixomosaic.com.
What PixoMosaic is
PixoMosaic is an English-first web tool for fuse-bead makers. You bring a photo, logo, or pixel illustration, and the app helps you turn it into a bead chart you can follow on a pegboard. Alongside image conversion, the product offers a blank canvas for freehand patterns, optional signed-in design saving and bead inventory, and public community and inspiration galleries.
The site presents the experience as an Image to Bead Pattern editor and a Perler beads generator. You upload an image, adjust settings such as pattern width and how many colors to keep, preview the grid, then export guides meant for building. Public entity copy also describes PixoMosaic as a free design application for the web, used in a browser.
Fuse beads and Perler
Fuse beads (also called melty beads) are plastic beads placed on a pegboard and fused with heat into a flat design. Perler is a well-known brand in that category, so many people search for “Perler bead patterns” when they mean fuse-bead charts in general. Hama and MARD are other brands in the same craft; each has its own color codes.
Are Perler beads the same as fuse beads? Perler beads are fuse beads from one brand. Charts often say “Perler pattern” for a fuse-bead grid. PixoMosaic generates Perler-style fuse-bead charts—color grids, bead counts, and guides you can follow on the board—and product planning includes Perler, Hama, and MARD for inventory matching. Keep one brand per pattern so codes match the beads you place. PixoMosaic claims no official affiliation with any bead brand.
