Why search for Perler beads pixel art

You want a grid with Perler-style codes, not a filter. A useful tool maps to a brand palette, limits colors, and prints codes you can read while building on a real board.

Board sizes that match real pegboards

Long edge 29 for one square board, 58 for two, 87 for three. Bead Pixel Art keeps the short edge on the photo aspect ratio so the pattern does not stretch.

Brand palette and shopping list

Select Perler (or Hama / Artkal / MARD if that is what you own). Cap max colors so you are not shopping 200 SKUs. The export list shows code and count for each color.

Pixel art vs photo realism

Sprites and logos usually look better in Cartoon mode. People and pets often look better in Detail mode with fewer muddy edges. Fix eyes and outlines by hand with paint and fill either way.

Build-friendly exports

Export PNG with full codes on cells when you need them. Rulers and 5-cell guides make counting rows easier. Keep paper or a tablet next to the pegboard.
