MARD bead pattern maker
Turn any photo into a MARD bead chart with 221 colour codes. Crop the photo, choose a pegboard size, edit bead by bead, then export PNG, PDF and CSV.
The default range in Chinese bead shops: 221 solid colours, plus a 291-colour full range with the extras.
Conversion runs in your browser · 5 credits per chart · re-downloads are free
From photo to chart in three steps
Upload a photo
Drop a PNG, JPG or WebP. The image stays on your device.
Match MARD colours
Pick a pegboard size, cap the number of colours, and the converter picks the closest MARD codes for every bead.
Edit and export
Fix single beads, simplify the palette, then export a numbered chart with bead counts as PNG, PDF or CSV.
Why build a MARD chart
- Every cell carries the exact MARD code, so you buy beads by number instead of guessing from a screenshot.
- The chart lists how many beads of each colour you need, so one shopping trip is enough.
- Switch ranges later: a finished chart can be re-matched to another colour card without redrawing it.
