Upload one image
Use photos, illustrations, portraits, pets, landmarks, or custom artwork.
PHOTO → PATTERN → CREATE
Stop counting pixels. Start making real bead products.
Upload a photo, illustration, or customer design. Set the size, color limit, and bead palette. Pindou Skill turns it into a print-ready pattern with labeled cells, a complete color key, and material quantities.

Generate a clear grid
Set the dimensions; the grid is drawn cell by cell, and the final bead count follows the generated pattern.
Match real bead colors
Control the number of colors and map them to a selected brand palette.
Receive material counts
Use color names, codes, and quantities for purchasing and order kitting.
01 / TRANSFORMATION
From pixel preview to production file
The value is not one conversion step. It is the complete path from source image to printing, material sourcing, and assembly.
Replace manual cleanup
BeforePixelate, remove the background, resize, clean noise, repair edges, add a grid, and label colors by hand.
AfterProvide the image and specifications, then receive a labeled pattern with color key and quantity totals.
A production file—not just pixel art.
Stop guessing colors
BeforeRGB colors look close on screen but may appear dull, dark, or inaccurate in physical beads.
AfterMatch against a selected brand palette and calculate the exact quantity for every color.
Source materials by code, not intuition.
Support consistent fulfillment
BeforeNew creators struggle with size and detail, while sellers build material lists separately.
AfterUse one input format for charms, magnets, display art, kits, and custom orders.
A workflow designed to scale.
02 / THE PROBLEM
Most tools only solve one small part
Community patterns are useful for existing designs. Quick converters often lose facial features, fur edges, skin tones, and clean contours. Professional design software adds a steep learning curve.
How large should the product be? Which physical colors should be used? How many beads are required? Can the file be printed? Can a maker assemble it without another round of editing?
Pindou Skill connects image preparation, pixel mapping, palette matching, grid labels, and material totals in one workflow.
Creators spend more time selecting good artwork, refining the look, producing content, and fulfilling orders.
03 / WORKFLOW
Designed around physical production
The output is built to be assembled in the real world, not simply viewed on a screen.
Upload
Attach a photo, illustration, or customer-approved design.
Specify
Set composition, background, dimensions, color count, and palette.
Prepare
Center the subject, simplify the image, and keep background cells clear.
Match
Map image colors to the built-in MARD 221 palette (the only bundled palette).
Deliver
Export the grid, labels, color key, totals, and a PNG (rendering the final image requires cairosvg).
04 / EXAMPLES
Turn memorable images into products
Landmarks, travel memories, custom portraits, and illustration-based products can all become bead patterns.
05 / BENEFITS
A stronger bridge between creativity and fulfillment
Production-first output
Grid labels, color codes, swatches, and quantities support the next real production step.
Lower setup burden
Users provide the image, size, color count, and palette instead of switching between multiple tools.
Made for custom products
Portraits, pets, landmarks, and personalized designs become easier to prepare consistently.
Material-ready planning
Quantity totals simplify sourcing, DIY kit preparation, and made-to-order fulfillment.
06 / WHY IT MATTERS
Connect the image to the finished object
Bead art does not end on a screen. It becomes physical beads, boards, colors, packaging, and one deliberate assembly step at a time.
Pindou Skill brings image processing, palette matching, quantity calculation, and print preparation into a single reusable workflow.
When the source image, pattern, color codes, and material quantities connect, creators can move from occasional projects to consistent production and custom fulfillment.
