    Download the PNG or ZIP, or print the numbered chart and material counts.

QUICK ANSWERS

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING.

Pixel art, privacy, exports and making things by hand.

Count the usable pegs on your board and enter that many columns and rows. Larger patterns may need several boards; print page boundaries are not board boundaries.
No. The palette lists HEX and RGB references. Compare them with your own beads before buying materials.
Each grid cell counts as one bead, including white cells and padding. Transparent areas are filled with white. Material counts describe the first frame of an animation.
Print pattern splits the chart into pages of up to 40 × 40 cells, with row and column ranges and a separate color key.
Artwork built from a small grid and a limited palette. We map each block to a color and enlarge it with crisp edges.
Add an image, set pixel size, choose a palette and adjust brightness, contrast or saturation. Compare the result, then export PNG.
No. The preview and PNG use nearest-neighbor scaling to keep every pixel edge crisp.
Yes. Pick Game Boy, Minecraft, Pico-8, NES, C64 or Mono, or use Auto to extract colors from your image.
Your image stays on your device. Conversion, adjustments, previews and exports all run inside your browser.
Free to use, with no signup, watermark or download limit.
PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF up to 25 MiB. GIF and animated WebP keep their animation with GIF export. PNG, guides, ZIP and Copy image use the first frame; transparent areas are placed on white.
Yes. Upload a GIF or animated WebP to create animated pixel art. Preview both versions in sync, adjust the palette and pixel size, then download GIF. Frame timing and loop count are preserved; the limit is 300 frames plus a total processing budget.
Use the Minecraft palette as a block-color reference. The numbered guide helps you rebuild the image one square at a time.
Yes. Choose a camera-roll photo in a modern browser, adjust the preview and save the PNG or ZIP to your device.
Start around 2. Smaller blocks keep more detail; larger blocks make a chunkier image. Fixed 32 or 64 grids control the size for crafts.
Yes. Use a clear portrait, choose a bold palette and export PNG for profile pictures, emotes or stream badges.
A printable grid whose numbers match the color key. Enable the guide to see the pattern and export a separate Guide PNG.
Auto offers 8, 12, 16, 24 or 32 colors; an image may need fewer. Retro palettes keep their fixed color sets.
pixel-art.png, numbered-guide.png and readme.txt with palette indices, HEX and RGB values.
Yes. Choose a practical grid and 8–12 Auto colors, then print the numbered guide. Match the palette to your actual beads or thread.
