About the toolkit
Meltbead FAQ
What can I make with Meltbead?
Meltbead helps crafters turn photos and illustrations into editable bead patterns, plan materials, and prepare printable project references.
Do I need to create an account?
No. The current toolkit works without an account, and the pattern maker processes images locally in your browser.
Which bead brands can I use?
The workspace includes palettes for Perler, Hama, Artkal M-series, MARD, and Nabbi, plus a small Meltbead reference palette. Brand colors and bead sizes are not interchangeable, and screen colors are approximate, so compare critical shades with beads you own.
Where should I start?
Open the pattern maker for a new project, compare a brand color chart, or use the size calculator and ironing guide to plan the next step.
