different tools
Pixel Grid Guide outputs a craft blueprint: fixed 32×32 or 64×64 cells, numbered palette indices, and a readme for beads or thread. Pixel Art focuses on retro aesthetics — adjustable block size, game palettes, and optional dithering for screen art.
Use this tool when you need a paint-by-number sheet. Use Pixel Art when you want a stylized PNG for avatars, wallpapers, or game mock-ups.
use cases
Snap a screenshot to a 32×32 grid and rebuild sprites block by block in editors or bead boards.
Each cell maps to one bead color with a numbered guide — export the palette list for shopping.
Print the numbered grid and match thread colors from the ZIP readme hex codes.
specifications
| Grid | Cells | Best for | Palette |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32 × 32 | 1,024 | Small icons, Game Boy scale, quick bead boards | 8–16 colors (k-means) |
| 64 × 64 | 4,096 | Detailed portraits, large pegboards, stitch charts | 12–16 colors (k-means) |
Colors are extracted with 16-level buckets and k-means (8 rounds). Mapping uses weighted RGB (0.3 / 0.59 / 0.11).

Choose 32×32 for compact crafts or 64×64 for more detail.
Select 8, 12, or 16 palette colors. Fewer colors are easier to build by hand.

quick answers

pixel-grid.png (color preview), numbered-guide.png (indices in each cell), and readme.txt listing every palette color as hex and RGB.
