PixelBeads turns any photo into a printable pattern for perler beads, pixel art, and Minecraft builds — free in the browser.

Upload an image, pick a palette, tweak the grid in the Pattern Editor, then export a chart you can actually craft. Share work on Plaza, save cloud drafts with Google sign-in (My works), and keep patterns you like (My likes).

No install. Built for makers who want a clean photo → pattern → print workflow.

Hey makers 👋 I'm shua, building PixelBeads. I kept wanting a clean path from a photo → a printable perler / pixel / Minecraft chart without fighting bad palettes or unusable grids. So I shipped PixelBeads: convert in-browser, tweak in the Pattern Editor, export charts you can actually craft. Recently added Google login + My works (cloud save) and My likes, plus Plaza for sharing patterns. Would love feedback — especially on color optimization and the editor workflow. Happy to answer questions!

It makes me wonder how tools like this compare to the data-focused platforms we usually see, like those tracking i ready scores https://ireadyscores.com/ in schools.
