How to create with GameGen

Three steps from idea to downloadable asset.

  1. 1

    Upload a photo

    PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Simple subjects with clear shapes work best for bead charts.

  2. 2

    Pick a square board size

    Choose 29×29, 40×40, 50×50, 64×64, or a custom size. Colors map to a fixed ~48-color craft palette.

  3. 3

    Download chart + shopping list

    Chart PNG shows round beads and a legend. List exports color × count for shopping.

Loved by indie developers

I shipped my Game Jam entry with AI-generated sprites and BGM from GameGen. Saved me at least two days of asset work.

Alex Chen

Solo indie dev

The pixel character and asset pack tools let me test combat feel before hiring an artist. The style was consistent enough for a vertical slice.

Jordan Park

2D RPG prototype

HD portraits with transparent backgrounds dropped straight into Ren'Py. We iterated on character designs in hours instead of weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pixel Beads really free?
Yes. Pattern generation runs entirely in your browser. No account, no credits, and your image is not uploaded to our API for this tool.
What do I download?
Chart PNG shows round beads on a pegboard with a color legend. List downloads a text shopping list (color × count).
Are the colors official brand codes?
No — we use a generic craft bead palette approximated for matching. Use it as a guide and adjust to your brand's shade chart.
