Drop in your photo. Any image works — a pet, a logo, a family photo, whatever you want to bead. Large images get scaled down automatically.
Pick your bead brand. Choose Perler, Artkal, or Hama. The tool matches your photo to real colors from that brand's palette. Toggle individual swatches on or off if there are colors you don't own.
Set your grid size. The width and height sliders control how many beads wide and tall your pattern is. Bigger grids give you more detail, but they also mean a lot more beads.
Choose a bead size. Standard (5 mm) is the classic Perler size. Mini (2.5 mm) packs in more detail. Jumbo (10 mm) is great for younger kids or larger display pieces.
Hit "Generate Pattern." Your color-coded bead grid appears right away. Zoom in to check individual beads and colors up close.
Download your PDF. Each page is labeled so you know exactly where it fits in the full pattern. A progress bar shows how things are coming along.

Tip: Photos with a clear subject and a simple background tend to give the cleanest patterns. Very busy or dark images can get muddy.
