FROM SCREEN TO STRING
A pattern you can
actually finish.
Large beadwork gets heavy fast. Plan the dimensions and materials first, then use the printed grid as your row-by-row map.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Pony bead tapestry basics
What size pony beads should I use?
Standard pony beads are often about 9 mm across. Measure your actual beads and adjust the size so the finished dimensions match your materials.
How does image conversion work?
The tool crops your image to the grid, samples each cell, and maps it to the closest color in the built-in bead palette using perceptual color matching. You can repaint any cell afterward.
Can I make a large wall hanging?
Yes. The editor supports grids up to 80 × 80 beads. For a first project, a 24–40 bead width is easier to handle and print.
Does the tool save my uploaded photo?
No. Image processing happens locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and your project autosaves to this device only.
Is it really free?
Yes — the pattern maker, all starter patterns and the printable exports are free. A optional workshop pack funds the site.
Do I need an account?
No account, no sign-up. Your project saves itself in your browser and exports as a file you can keep.
