How to create with GameGen
Three steps from idea to downloadable asset.
- 1
Upload a photo
PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Simple subjects with clear shapes work best for bead charts.
- 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
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.”
“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.”
“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.
