Pixel Beader
Fuse Bead Pattern Maker
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Go from photo to finished bead art in one app. Edit bead by bead, customize palettes, organize patterns, simulate fusing, and bring every idea to life in 3D or AR.
Pixel Beader is a fuse bead design and pattern-making app built for iPhone and iPad. It gives you a complete workflow for creating, choosing colors, previewing, and sharing fuse bead art.
【From ideas to bead patterns】
Start with a blank pegboard and place beads one by one, or import a photo and quickly turn it into a clean pixel bead pattern.
Fine-tune the rows, columns, sampling method, transparent background, and color count. Pixel Beader automatically matches colors to your palette and shows the code and quantity for every bead color.
【Precise editing, flexible colors】
On an iPad that supports Apple Pencil, you can place, replace, and erase beads as naturally as drawing. You can also switch to touch editing.
Convert between pegboards and patterns to move smoothly from digital design to hands-on crafting. Choose from multiple built-in bead palettes, or add and edit your own colors.
【Organize, preview, and share】
Organize patterns in folders, favorite the designs you use most, and recover accidentally deleted items from Recently Deleted.
When your design is ready, simulate the fusing process and preview Film, Parchment, and Teflon surface finishes. Inspect the finished piece from different angles in 3D or AR.
Export pattern images and 3D snapshots, or share editable project files that can be imported again.
