Turn any photo into a perler bead pattern in seconds
Upload a picture or describe an idea, choose your grid size, and get a bead-by-bead construction chart with a Mard color card and exact bead counts.
How it works
Add your source
Upload a photo, or type a short description and let AI draw it for you. A prompt-first mode lets you refine wording before spending a credit.
Tune the grid
Pick the bead count per row — from a quick 29-bead badge to a detailed 100-bead poster. Height adapts to the aspect ratio automatically.
Export the charts
Download the construction chart with grid lines and the color card with per-color bead counts, ready to print and bead.
Built for beaders
True bead colors
Every pixel is quantized to a Mard-style palette, so the colors you see map to beads you can actually buy.
Exact usage counts
Know how many beads of each color you need before you start, plus an estimate of pegboards required.
Smart dark outline
An optional contour pass draws the dark outline your pattern needs to pop, like real bead art.
Two ways to start
Go straight from a photo, or begin with text: generate a prompt, edit it, then create the image and pattern.
FAQ
▸ What is a perler bead pattern?
It is a grid chart where each cell equals one fuse bead. You place beads cell by cell on a pegboard, then iron them so they melt together into a finished piece.
▸ Do I need an account to use the generator?
No. The generator is free to try and works entirely in your browser for pixelizing. You only interact with our servers when asking the AI to write a prompt or draw an image.
▸ Which bead size and brand does it support?
Patterns target 2.6 mm mini beads with an Mard-style standard color card of up to 16 colors per pattern. The color card lists a code and bead count for every color.
▸ Can I turn text into a perler bead pattern?
Yes. Describe your idea, optionally generate and edit a detailed prompt, and the tool will create an image and convert it into a bead chart automatically.
▸ How large will my finished piece be?
Each mini bead cell is about 2.6 mm, so a 30-column pattern is roughly 7.8 cm wide. The preview shows the physical size for every grid you choose.
