A browser-based generator that converts links, WiFi details, and digital contacts into printable 5mm Perler-style bead patterns.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The page models QR patterns against physical constraints rather than treating them as ordinary digital images. Its sizing table maps Versions 1–4 to bead layouts from 29×29 through 41×41, while the instructions emphasize a four-module quiet zone and open front holes after ironing. It names Perler, Artkal, and Hama as compatible bead systems and recommends short payloads when a single standard 29×29 board is the goal.
