Turn a photo into a bead loom pattern

PicToBead turns a photograph into a seed bead weaving pattern for a loom, square stitch, peyote or brick stitch, with a bead count for every colour and a chart you can print.

How it works

1. Choose a photo and crop it.
2. Pick a stitch: loom or square stitch, peyote, or brick stitch. The pattern is drawn with the beads where they really sit, so peyote and brick charts are staggered.
3. Set the width in beads and the number of colours, from 2 to 32.
4. Make the pattern, fix any bead by hand, and print a chart tiled across pages or download the bead list.

Good to know

• Patterns are matched to Miyuki Delica 11/0 beads, so the bead list gives the Delica number to order for each colour.
• Your photo never leaves your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
