Fast, local, and made for Perler planning
The Perler Bead Studio converts images to a bead grid directly in your browser. No upload needed — your photo stays on your device while you experiment with colors and grid sizes.
Generate grid sizes based on the image ratio, then fine-tune with custom dimensions.
Compare original and pixelated previews side-by-side as you place beads.
Select a recommended pixel color and replace the entire group instantly.
Download your finished pattern with row and column numbers on every side — so you can follow it bead by bead on the pegboard without losing your place.
Print-ready pattern with coordinates
Every downloaded image includes row and column numbers along all four edges, with a guide line every 5 cells (every 10 for large grids) — just like cross-stitch and diamond painting patterns. Whether you're building a 30×30 sprite or a 100×100 mural, you can track your exact position at a glance.
- Numbers mark every 5th row and column on all four sides
- Guide lines divide the grid into easy 5×5 sections
- Color legend in the footer shows your most-used bead colors
- Fixed 20 px per cell — consistent quality at any print size
How to get the best result
- Start with a clear image and a square crop for balanced bead layouts.
- Pick a grid size that matches your real pegboard (e.g. 30×30 or 40×40).
- Use the pixel preview to spot noisy colors before you replace them.
- Check the bead count to estimate colors before you start building.
- Download the pattern and use the coordinate numbers to place beads row by row without losing your spot.
