Upload any butterfly image and the perler bead pattern maker maps it into a clean butterfly perler bead pattern in seconds. It works especially well for symmetrical wings, so details like monarch outlines or blue butterfly gradients stay readable on bead grids. You get a practical starting layout instead of hand-counting pixels, which makes planning faster for both first-time and experienced crafters.
Adjust grid size, reduce color count, and refine wing contrast before you download. Use small settings for keychains or larger grids for framed wall art, then fine-tune shades to match the Perler beads you already own. The live preview helps you balance detail and bead count, so your pattern is craftable and clear.
