Artkal bead patterns with real S-codes

Artkal is the brand people reach for when a design needs more colours than the classics offer, and the S series is the one most patterns are written in. This converter matches your image to Artkal S codes, so the chart names the exact beads you order rather than a nearest neighbour from another brand. Because the palette runs to well over a hundred shades, photographs and anime art keep far more of their shading than they would with a sixteen-colour set.

Artkal S beads are soft 5 mm beads — the same midi size as Hama Midi and Perler — so they sit on the standard 29×29 pegboards you already own and can be mixed into a design you started with another brand. A 58×58 pattern comes out around 29 cm square, roughly a framed picture, while a single board is closer to a coaster. Set the width in beads, cap the colour count if your storage box is smaller than the catalogue, and check the preview before you commit. The export carries the numbered grid, the Artkal legend and a bead count per code. Palettes for the 2.6 mm mini series, A and C, are on the way; for now every chart here is written in 5 mm S-codes.
