Why is it still sharp when enlarged?

Each pixel is exported as an integer-sized block with smoothing turned off, so edges stay crisp at any size.

Can I make a perler bead pattern?

Yes. Set pixels across to your pegboard size (for example 29 or 58), choose fewer colours and enable the grid.

Turn photos into retro 8-bit pixel art. Set how many pixels across to control the chunkiness, and choose the original colours, an adaptive 16- or 8-colour palette, Game Boy greens or greyscale — the adaptive palettes pick the most representative colours automatically. Switch on the grid to use the result as a bead or cross-stitch pattern. Live preview, batch support and crisp PNG export, all in your browser.
