Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I made Image2Bead for the moment when you have a favourite photo, pet portrait, icon, or illustration—and want to turn it into bead art you can actually build. Most image converters stop at a pixelated preview. Image2Bead is designed to get you closer to the finished piece: Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP—your image is processed locally in the browser. Choose a pattern size, bead palette, and a preference for cleaner colour blocks or more detail. Review the result against the original, edit individual cells, and check bead counts before you start. Export a colour-coded PNG or print a multi-page pattern with a materials list and pegboard-by-pegboard pages. It supports MARD, Perler, and Artkal S naming systems to help keep your pattern and bead packaging aligned. Colour displays are still best verified with physical swatches before a large project—screens and bead batches vary. I’d love to know: what image would you turn into bead art first? Try it here: https://image2bead.net/ Gallery / screenshot captions Turn one image into your next bead project Upload a photo, illustration, or transparent PNG. Choose the balance between detail and ease of making Set size, palette, and generation style in three steps. See the pattern before you commit to it Compare it with the original and preview ring, soft-fused, or fused finishes. Know exactly what to prepare Every pattern includes colour codes, bead quantities, and pegboard estimates. Export instructions made for real crafting Download a PNG or print a pattern overview, colour list, and tiled build pages. Private by design Image processing happens in your browser—your uploaded image does not leave your device.
