# Draw a blank Perler bead canvas

Pick a board size and palette, then paint on an empty grid. Empty cells stay empty — they are not white beads.

### Is this the same canvas as photo convert?

Yes. Convert and draw share one bead studio: palettes, paint, erase, pick, fill, undo, and PNG export. Only the starting grid is different — a photo result versus empty cells.

### Do empty cells mean white beads?

No. Empty cells are empty. White is a real Perler or Hama code you place on purpose. The PNG legend only lists colors that are actually on the grid.

### What sizes can I use?

Presets 29, 58, and 87, or a custom rectangle up to 116 on each edge. That matches one to three standard 5mm pegboards. Wider builds belong in the app.

### Which palettes are included?

Perler Midi, Hama Midi, Artkal S 5mm, Nabbi / Pyssla, and MARD 221 — each brand’s full 5mm midi range, with real codes. Changing palette remaps each bead to the nearest color in the new set, so a Perler blue does not become an Artkal pink.

### What can I download?

A PNG with the grid, codes, counts, and bead.pixlery.com. There is no PDF on the website in this version. HD export and board-by-board guides are in the Bead Pattern app.

### Do I need an account? Will my drawing be saved?

No account. The drawing lives in this tab. Refreshing clears it. We do not upload the canvas to a server or publish it as a public page.
