About This Launch
Turn photos into pixel art with MakePixel, a free online pixel art converter and bead pattern generator. Set the width in pixels or beads and get smart downsampling, colour matching against Perler, Hama, Artkal, Nabbi and Mard style bead palettes, optional dithering, and a numbered chart with a per-colour bead count. Good for perler bead art, cross-stitch charts and game sprites. Works in the browser, with PNG export and no account. Not affiliated with any bead brand.
Why I Built This
We wanted a free, no-account way to turn any photo into a clean bead-ready pixel pattern, with a materials list for Perler, Hama and Artkal crafters.
