Peglo: Bead Pattern Maker

Peglo turns a photo, a drawing or your own chart into a fuse bead pattern you can actually build: the right colours, the right number of beads and a template that matches your pegboard bead for bead. PHOTO TO BEAD PATTERN Pick a photo, crop it and watch it become beads. Choose the size in pegboards (1×1 up to 4×4, or any size up to 200 × 200), set the maximum number of colours and let the clean-up remove stray single beads. Photos, pixel art and drawings are handled differently, so flat art stays crisp and photos stay calm. REAL BEAD COLOURS Colour codes and names compatible with these bead brands: Perler, Perler Mini, Hama Midi, Hama Mini, Artkal S, Artkal C, Nabbi and MARD. Glitter, glow and translucent beads are left out unless you want them. Convert your pattern to another brand’s colours and see which colours change and by how much. BUILD MODE Work one pegboard and one colour at a time. Tap beads off as you place them, undo, lock the board against accidental moves and pick up exactly where you stopped. Symbols on the beads, a focus view and a row magnifier help with large melty bead pictures. ROUND AND HEXAGON BOARDS Besides square boards you can lay out a pattern on a round or hexagon pegboard. YOUR OWN CHARTS AND PIXEL ART Pick an image that already is a chart or pixel art you made, and Peglo offers to take it cell by cell: it finds the grid, reads every cell and maps it to your beads. Adjust columns and rows if needed. MY BEADS AND THE BUY LIST Mark the colours you own and how many beads you have. The buy list shows what to buy per colour, with a spare margin, bags of 1 000 and your stock subtracted. Share it as an image or copy it as text. 1:1 PRINT Print a true-to-size template that goes under a clear pegboard, with a 10 cm ruler and printer calibration, plus a chart page with symbols and coordinates for every board. A4 and Letter. EDIT AND IDEAS Pen, fill, colour picker, replace colour, eraser and mirror drawing for symmetric designs. Not sure where to start? Twelve simple starter patterns are ready in the Ideas tab. Works in 17 languages. Perler, Hama, Artkal, MARD and Nabbi are trademarks of their owners. Peglo is not affiliated with any bead maker; brand names only identify compatible colours. Colours on screen and on paper are approximations of real beads.
