Description
Your cat. A little doodle. A gift in someone's favorite colors. MeltDots turns photos and ideas into fuse bead patterns you can make by hand. Start with an image, explore the pattern library, or try AI. Simplify a busy photo, choose your bead palette, and edit each bead until the design feels yours. Download a PNG with the grid, color legend, and bead counts. Direct conversion and editing are free; downloads need a free account. AI uses credits.

Could you build this?
Yes Pixelation and palette-mapping algorithms (e.g., K-means or nearest-color matching using Perler/Hama palettes) along with a canvas editor can be comfortably implemented with AI assistance.
