Ironing is one-way — once the beads melt, that’s the surface you get. See how your pattern comes out under every ironing cloth and parchment paper first.

How IronedBeads works

  1. Upload your pattern

    A screenshot or a photo of a bead pattern works. Crop it and line up the grid.

  2. Check the colors

    Every bead is matched to your brand’s color codes. Tap any that came out wrong to fix it.

  3. Pick a finish

    Switch between 20+ finishes and turn the piece around in 3D.

  4. Iron it, then download

    Iron it with an automatic press, a handheld press or a household iron, lift the cover to see it, then save it as an image, a GIF, a 3-second video or a before-and-after.

Common questions

Is IronedBeads free?

Yes. There are no ads and no paywall. Sign in and you can back up to 10 pieces in the cloud.

Which bead brands does it support?

Perler, Hama, Artkal, Nabbi, PYSSLA, MARD, COCO, ManMan and PanPan — each with its own color codes.

Ironing paper or ironing cloth — which should I use?

It depends on the surface you want. Ironing cloth presses a fine woven texture into the beads; parchment paper leaves them smooth with a faint, misty grain, or creased if you crumple it first. Preview both on your own pattern before you decide.

Ironing paper vs ironing cloth: the full comparison
Do I need a heat press?

No. You can preview a regular household iron as well as an automatic or a handheld heat press.

Can I save the result?

Yes — as an image, a GIF, a 3-second video or a before-and-after comparison.

Remove the selected colors?

The selected cells will be cleared to blank. You can undo it.

Alignment not confirmed yet

Recognizing before the grid is locked can get both the grid size and every color code wrong. Line the grid up over the beads, tick “Lock alignment”, then continue.

Save current work?

Before going back, you can save the recognized pattern to My Beads.
