Guides
Photo conversion guide
Choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP photo. Start with a clear subject and a simple background. Pick the number of columns and rows: more cells preserve more detail but need more beads and assembly time. The first visible frame is used for supported images.
↗02Palettes & bead counts
Palette symbols A–X and codes 01–24 belong to this pattern. They are not Perler, Hama, Artkal or other manufacturer color numbers. RGB screen colors are approximate and vary with the display and material. Compare your actual beads before choosing supplies.
↗03Printing & assembly
Print creates numbered chart pages plus a color key and shopping list. Charts use 5 mm cells for readability regardless of bead pitch, so they are reference charts rather than actual-size pegboard guides. Select A4 or US Letter in both the tool and print dialog. Use Save as PDF if you want a file.
↗How it works
Choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP photo. Start with a clear subject and a simple background. Pick the number of columns and rows: more cells preserve more detail but need more beads and assembly time. The first visible frame is used for supported images.
Counts include only occupied cells. Erased and transparent cells use no bead. The extras column rounds each color count up after applying your chosen spare percentage. Changing a palette swatch recolors every bead using that palette entry. Use the picker and fill tools to simplify a design; undo restores previous edits.
