Turn photos into pixel art in seconds with MakePixel, a free online pixel art converter and bead pattern maker. Drop in any image, set the width in pixels or beads, and MakePixel handles the rest: smart downsampling, perceptual colour matching against real Perler, Hama and Artkal bead palettes, and an optional dithering mode that preserves detail in skies, skin tones and other gradients. The result is a clean, printable grid with numbered divisions, a per-colour bead count and a shopping-ready materials list. Ideal for perler bead art, cross-stitch charts, sprite mock-ups and game assets. Works entirely in the browser on desktop and mobile, with one-click PNG export and no account required.

5Use it for my Ads, great product.
Building free tools to keep inboxes spam-free.
Free pixel art converter with a bead pattern maker is a lovely niche combo — crafters are an underserved audience in the pixel art space. Keeping it free and in the browser removes all friction. One idea: preset canvas sizes for popular bead brands would make the bead pattern feature even more practical. Also curious whether it handles dithering options for photo conversion. Charming, focused tool — good luck with the launch!
