Hit “Make chart →” under any animal and the pattern maker builds a Perler color grid plus a per-color bead count. No manual color-matching, no counting — place bead by bead, then iron to set. Want it bigger and sharper? Turn up “beads wide” in the maker.
These are small (about 34×40), use only ~10 colors, and have clean outlines, so they’re great for beginners. Use the default size for a keychain or fridge magnet, or size up for a coaster. Colors map to real Perler colors, with a bead-count list after you generate.
Two options: ① upload an animal photo or your own pet and the tool turns it into a color-coded chart; ② for a cleaner cartoon look, run the photo through AI photo-to-cartoon first, then make the chart.
Making color-coded charts is always free, unlimited. Only the optional AI photo-to-cartoon is paid per image.
A small 34×40 animal is roughly a few hundred to ~1,000 beads; the bead-count list gives the exact number per color.
Yes — upload a pet photo to get a matching chart; for a cuter look run it through AI cartoon first.
