About this tool

ImageToBeads is a free browser-based Perler bead pattern maker. Upload a photo or illustration, crop the subject, choose a grid size and real Perler, Hama, MARD, Artkal, or Nabbi color references, then reduce colors, merge rare shades, clean isolated cells, and edit individual beads. Export a complete PNG with a bead grid, color legend, and quantities, or try PDF printing in beta. Source images are processed locally in the browser. Pattern creation, editing, local draft recovery, and PNG export require no account. Makers can also explore a public pattern gallery. ImageToBeads is independent; bead-brand names describe color compatibility, not official affiliation.
