bead by bead,
into patterns.

If you have made patterns by hand,
you know these pains.

Peko solves these three first.

PAIN 01

Matching colors against a swatch card by eye — halfway in you spot the mismatch and redo the whole section.

Exact code mapping — know every bead's code before you place it.

PAIN 02

Counting cells until your eyes blur — one wrong row ruins the whole piece.

Patterns come with coordinates and section lines; you always know where you are.

PAIN 03

Quantities guessed by eye: buy too much and it wastes, too little and work stops.

Counts tallied per code automatically — not one bead more or less.

Co-build

Beadwork is slow craft,
faster with company.

Share one pattern with the family: placements sync live, the cell just placed glows in its seat color, progress waits in the cloud. Set it down halfway — someone will pick it up.

You take the left half, I take the right — one pattern, placements synced live

The cell a family member just placed glows on your canvas in their seat color — no asking needed

Wherever you stop tonight, family opens exactly there tomorrow — nothing lost

Iron Studio

Beyond the pattern,
there's the ironed side.

12 ironing styles calibrated against real photos: gloss, glitter, waffle, towel weave… light computed bead-by-bead renders the finished texture, and the card tilts in your hand.

  • 12 iron textures — gloss, glitter, waffle, towel weave — each calibrated against real photos
  • Light computed per bead bump: beads fuse, edges round, relief follows the texture
  • Paper, iron, peel — a small ritual every time; then admire the finish fullscreen, tilt in hand
Workflow

Three steps.
One sheet is all you need.

Pixelation is automatic, edits are yours to make, and building is just following the sheet.

01 / upload

Drop it in, done

JPG / PNG supported. It starts computing the moment it lands — corners and all.

02 / edit

Refine it slowly

Three modes, one at a time: color optimize / hand edit / build-along.

OptimizeEditBeads
03 / take home

Take it home

Take the pattern PNG to build it and the ironed card PNG to show it off — the ironed finish travels with you. All five code systems included.
