Built for real crafters — not just pixel conversion. From accurate color matching to print-ready templates, every feature is designed to save you time at the pegboard.
The AI doesn't just pixelate your image — it maps each pixel to actual bead colors available from Perler, Hama, and Artkal. The result is a pattern you can follow without guessing which bead to use.
Upload your photo, pick a style, and the pattern generates in 10–15 seconds. No manual grid drawing, no color-by-number math — just a clean template ready to print or follow on screen.
Choose the bead size that fits your project. Mini beads (2.6mm) capture fine details for portraits. Standard beads (5mm) are the classic choice. Jumbo beads (10mm) are great for kids and quick projects.
Pick from Rainbow Vibrant, Pastel Soft, Monochrome, Neon Glow, and 5 more palette options. Each palette is tuned to produce patterns that look great as finished bead art — not just on screen.
Download your pattern as a high-resolution image with clear grid lines and color labels. Print it out and place it next to your pegboard — each bead position is easy to identify at a glance.
Compatible with Perler, Hama, Artkal, Nabbi, and generic melty beads. The universal grid layout means your pattern works regardless of which brand you have on hand.
From personalized gifts to classroom activities — see how people use bead patterns in real projects.
Turn a photo of a pet, a friend's face, or a favorite game character into a one-of-a-kind bead keychain or ornament. Great for birthdays, holidays, and handmade gifts that actually mean something.
Teachers and parents use generated patterns as structured craft activities. Kids develop fine motor skills while following the color grid — no freehand drawing required. Works for ages 5 and up with jumbo beads.
Design matching coaster sets, pixel art wall decorations, or themed holiday ornaments. The consistent grid output makes it easy to create a series with a unified look.
No design skills needed. Upload, customize, and download — your pattern is ready to craft in under a minute.
Drag and drop any image — pet photos, cartoon characters, logos, or portraits all work well. Sign up to get free trial credits for generating multiple patterns.
Select mini, standard, or jumbo beads, then choose a color palette. The AI optimizes your pattern based on these settings, adjusting detail level and color mapping automatically.
Preview the generated pattern, then download in high resolution. The output includes clear grid lines and color references — ready to print and follow at your pegboard.
Photos with a clear subject and minimal background clutter produce the cleanest patterns. Crop tightly around your subject before uploading.
A 29×29 pegboard pattern uses about 841 beads — manageable for beginners. Larger patterns (58×58) need 3,000+ beads and multiple boards.
Before starting a project, count your beads by color. The pattern shows which colors are needed most, so you can stock up before you're halfway through.

Common questions about creating bead patterns with our tool
Upload any image and the AI analyzes it, converts it to a pixel grid at your chosen bead size, and maps each pixel to the closest real bead color from brands like Perler, Hama, or Artkal. The output is a printable pattern with clear grid lines and color labels.
Most patterns are ready in 10–15 seconds. Upload, pick your settings, and the pattern appears almost instantly. No waiting, no queues.
The tool supports all major brands: Perler, Hama, Artkal, Nabbi, and generic melty beads. The grid layout is universal — your pattern works with whichever brand you prefer.

Simple, high-contrast images produce the best results: cartoon characters, logos, pet photos with plain backgrounds, and pixel art. Avoid busy scenes with lots of small details — they don't translate well to bead grids.
