About Bead Studio Free
Create your fusible bead designs with Bead Studio and transfer the design to real beads afterwards. Use the built-in generator to convert your images to photorealistic designs.
Please contact me on email datscharf@gmail.com with new feature suggestions, bugs and ideas for improvements.
Bead Studio supports palettes with bead colors from all the biggest manufacturers of beads like ARTKAL, HAMA, NABBI, Perler Beads and IKEA PYSSLA. Either choose a single palette or use a combination to increase the number of available colors tremendously. It’s even possible to define your own palette, just choose "Custom palette" as your "Default palette" and then click on "Setup custom palette" in Setup, where you select which beads you have in your inventory from all the known beads.
Bead Studio is made for both the serious fusible bead designer and for small children. It is possible to choose boards with very few pegs for example 10x10, zoom to a level where even the tiniest hands can handle it. It is possible to change the dimensions of the palette making the beads easier to select and it is possible to disable screen rotation so this will not cause irritation and problems for the little ones.
Bead Studio is very versatile. You can make huge boards with up to 500x500 beads or choose tiny boards with dimensions as low as 1x1 beads and you can choose very comprehensive bead palettes like HAMA or very limited palettes like Ikea Pyssla.
The fusible bead design can be shared on facebook, email etc. You can export it to an image with a 1:1 aspect ratio with real beads using it as template for a design in real beads.
Use pinch to zoom and dragging to navigate your way around the board and enable grid under settings providing the best overview when making ones design.
In Bead Studio you can convert your image saved on the Android device or from the built-in camera to photorealistic fusible bead designs using the chosen palette of colors like HAMA. Use the image editor to select a subsection of the image and control contrast, brightness and gamma. Tip: Because the number of ‘pixels’ on a board is often limited when making designs that can be transferred to real beads afterwards it pays to select a smaller section of the image to achieve the best possible results. It can also yield better results if you exaggerate the contrast and brightness of the image before conversion.
Needed permissions:
* Internet - The app. needs to be able to access the internet to retrieve images located on webstorage like Picasa.
* External Storage - The app. needs to be able to access external storage to save exported designs.
Bead Studio comes in two versions, a paid version called Bead Studio and Bead Studio Free with ads. The only difference are the ads.

Umm not trying to be mean but this app isn't very good and it needs a tutorial for beginners like me thou I might not message again but I might keep the map and find it out but also I think the weird line number thingys are in the way I think you tried very hard to accomplish this thou and you should be very proud of yourself and the others who helped make this app well done!

The app is great but would be greatly improved by adding an option to change all of a certain color bead at one time instead of having to individually modify each bead. A area selection tool could be used to optimise this feature. Thanks for all your hard work.

not only is this my preferred perler program, it's the only one I work with. An update on 07/16/16 sent this program to a screeching halt for me but the developer quickly fixed the bugs. Huge kudos to the creator! I have not found a better pattern maker than BSF. Back to perler for me! Wheee! ○/

I was using this app for a big project and now the custom pallette doesn't work. I tried the paid one and that keeps crashing when I tried to load a new pic. Need some help. Is this just because I have a an older S3?

I can't stress this highly enough. Do NOT download the paid version. It crashed my phone and corrupted my sd card so badly I lost everything on it and had to trash it. Couldn't even reformat it >:( 5-19 update, my sd card was not faulty and there was no virus. My phone worked just fine until I installed that particular app....my review stands. This is the only app that has ever caused me a problem.

When I tried to make a pattern for an animated picture of my charizard, it wanted me to use a bunch of purple and blue in areas that were clearly orange in the original picture. Is nice for planning out patterns but not for making new ones from photos.

Have had this app for a while and it's a great and simple asset to designing beaded jewelry effortlessly. I Simply set the board size decide on the design print it and keep the printed sheet or phone next to my beading loom as i work. Love it. Thanks! !!☺

This app really helped me plan out bead placement. The only thing that could make it better: more than just square boards, maybe like circle, trapezoid, or 6 pointed star? Otherwise this app is a must have!

Love this app, it helps me make incredible designs. My only suggestion is that after a certain number of beads is on the board Info. It'll go like 320..., if that could be expanded it'd be much appreciated.

I use this app a lot to play around with ideas so a copy/cut/paste function would be very useful. A 'fill' function, like in Paint, would also be extremely useful.

This app worked out prefectly for me since we're doing a video game themed wedding and each table is a different game some of the games are hard to find patterns and others i just didn't like i really liked how our cake topper turned out using a pattern made by this app

Such a big help! Sometimes you see a picture that you must turn into bead art and this takes away the most complicated part of it, the outlining. I will say, that the color recommendations are way off but still it doesn't matter since you can just look at the original picture. Thanks a ton!

I'm new to the app as of today but it's simple and easy to figure out. I'm already loving it and the possibilities it holds. I realize that this has already been addressed but I would love there to be additional board options i.e. hex, circle, etc. along with mini peeler beads. I see there is the artkal mini but they have different color options than what I currently have available and peeler has too many at the moment. However, for the most part these are minor inconveniences. Great job on the app!
