Photo Pattern Maker turns your own photos into printable patterns for cross stitch, perler bead, crochet, knitting, lego mosaic, diamond painting, in the colors of the floss, beads, yarn, bricks or drills you can actually buy.
How it works
Your photo is shrunk in your browser, averaged down to one color per square, matched to the brand's color card with the CIEDE2000 color difference, then merged down to the number of colors you choose. Color data comes from MakeBead's craft-color-codes (CC BY 4.0).
