Bead patterns in the colors you actually own
Choose your bead brand, pick your set or tick the colors you have, and add a picture. The pattern only uses beads you own.
Step 1: Add your picture
You can also drop a picture anywhere on this page, or paste one.
Your picture stays on this device. It is turned into a pattern in your browser and is never uploaded.
Step 2: Choose your beads
Step 3: Pick a size
Step 4: Tune the colors
Clears the color around the edges and leaves those pegs empty.
Blends single beads into a similar color next to them. Eyes and other high-contrast dots are kept.
Edges
Crisp keeps outlines clean, which suits cartoons and logos. Soft blends colors, which can suit photos.

How it works
Add a picture
A cartoon, a logo, a pet photo, pixel art. It is converted on your own device and never uploaded.
Say which beads you have
Pick the brand, then your set, or tick the colors in your box. Other pattern makers pick from every color a brand sells; this one stays inside your box.
Size it to your pegboards
One board, four boards, or any size you like. Heavy lines show where one pegboard ends and the next begins.
Fix it up and print
Repaint any bead, swap a color, then download a PDF with one page per pegboard and the bead counts for each.
Start from your bead set
These sets have their colors ready, so there is nothing to tick.

Questions
- Is it free? Do I need an account?
- It is free and there is no account or sign-up. Open the page, add a picture and download your pattern.
- Is my picture uploaded anywhere?
- No. Your picture is turned into a pattern inside your own browser. It is never sent to a server, so nobody else can see it.
- How do I make a pattern that only uses the colors I have?
- In step 2, choose your bead brand. Then either pick your bead set from the list, or choose "Only colors I have" and tick the colors in your box. The pattern is matched to those colors and nothing else.
- Which bead brands does it know?
- Perler, Hama, Artkal, MARD, Nabbi and Yant. Each brand has its own color chart, and several come in more than one bead size.
- How big will my pattern be?
- You choose. A standard large square pegboard is 29 × 29 pegs, which is 841 beads. You can size the pattern to one board, to 2 × 2 boards, or to any number of beads up to 200 across. Heavy lines on the pattern show where each pegboard ends.
- Can I print the pattern?
- Yes. The PDF has an overview page with the full bead list, then one page for each pegboard with the colors that board needs. You can also download the whole pattern as one PNG picture.
- Why do the colors look different from my beads?
- Screens and printers cannot show bead plastic exactly, and bead colors vary a little between batches. Treat the matches as a guide and check them against your own beads. You can repaint any bead, or replace a color everywhere, before you download.
- Can I change the pattern after it is made?
- Yes. Paint single beads, drag to paint a line, erase beads, or replace one color with another across the whole pattern. Undo is always available.
