- [Best Photos for Perler Bead Patterns](https://web.pixomosaic.com/guides/best-photos-for-bead-patterns): The best photos for a Perler bead pattern have a clear subject, strong contrast, fewer color blocks, and a tight crop. Soft gradients and busy backgrounds turn muddy on a bead grid.

- [Perler Pegboard Sizes: 29×29, Multi-Board & Pattern Width](https://web.pixomosaic.com/guides/perler-pegboard-sizes): Large square pegboards commonly use a 29×29 peg grid. Set pattern width in PixoMosaic so a Perler-style chart matches one board or a multi-board layout.
