Our free perler bead image converter turns a photo, drawing, or sprite into a fish perler bead pattern you can actually build. Simple shapes like goldfish, clown fish, and puffer fish convert quickly, and you can clean up details before downloading. If you are making a small fish perler bead pattern for a keychain, start compact and keep the color count low. For larger projects, scale up to preserve fins, stripes, and facial details without tracing by hand.
Fine-tune the grid before you commit beads: resize for mini charms, keychains, coasters, or larger art that spans more than one 29x29 pegboard, then adjust colors to match your Perler, Hama, or fuse bead stash. This is especially useful for tropical fish stripes, koi spots, and betta fin gradients that may need fewer shades to bead cleanly. You can preview every change and compare bead counts before downloading. That makes it easier to build a fish perler bead pattern that fits your skill level and supplies.
Make a fish perler bead pattern in three quick steps. Upload a photo or drawing, refine the grid and colors, and download a printable template for keychains, magnets, coasters, or wall art.
Upload a fish photo, drawing, or sprite (like a koi, betta, clown fish, or puffer fish) to start your fish perler bead pattern.
Convert the image, then adjust grid size, detail level, and colors to match your Perler, Hama, Artkal, or other fuse bead palettes.
Download your fish perler bead pattern, print it or use it on-screen, and start beading your keychain, magnet, coaster, or fish bowl display.
Start with a mini design or a 12x12 to 20x20 grid for simple fish shapes. Small keychain-style projects are easier to finish and usually need fewer color changes.
Yes. Upload your reference, then simplify the bowl or bag outline, bubbles, and water highlights so the fish stays readable at your chosen bead size.
Yes. The generator works well for koi fish, betta fish, clown fish, tropical fish, and more. If fins or stripes look crowded, increase the grid size or reduce colors.
Yes. You can use the pattern with Perler, Hama, Artkal, or other fuse beads. Match the palette to the colors you actually own before downloading.
Use the tool to create the front, side, and fin panels as separate 2D patterns, then assemble them after ironing. For 3D builds, keep shapes simple and test-fit pieces before final assembly.
Choose a simple fish silhouette, keep the design compact, and use a sturdy outline color. Small keychains are great first projects because they bead quickly and are easy to iron evenly.
