Perler beads generator: from image to bead chart
How a Perler beads generator turns images into grids, color counts, and printable PNG charts.
The generator samples your image
The tool divides your image into a square grid. Each cell becomes one bead position, stitch, block, or drill depending on the selected pattern mode.
Palette matching matters
Colors are matched to a limited palette. This makes the chart buildable, but it also means screen colors are approximate and should be checked against real materials.
Edit the generated draft
Automatic output is only the first draft. Use manual painting to fix eyes, outlines, text, and isolated single-color dots.
Export and build
Download the PNG chart and use the color count table as a sorting checklist before starting the physical project.
