Pattern Generator: Create Custom Repeating Patterns

Pattern Creator builds custom repeating patterns entirely in your browser, from built-in shapes, simple icons, your own typed text, or images and transparent cutouts you upload yourself. Every element lives on its own layer with independent control over colour, size, rotation, opacity, spacing, overlap, offset and randomisation, arranged in a grid, brick, diagonal, scatter, stripe, border or radial burst repeat. The live preview updates instantly as you tweak sliders, so you can build up something as simple as a single row of dots or as complex as a dozen layered, rotated, randomised motifs — then export it as a high-resolution JPEG or PNG.

Who it's for

Small shop owners and print-on-demand sellers designing packaging, wrapping paper, or product backgrounds; social media creators who want an on-brand tiled background instead of a stock image; laser and CNC hobbyists prototyping a repeat motif before committing it to a cut; and anyone putting together stationery, invitations, or a quick textured background for a slide or website section.

Common uses

• Social media backgrounds and story templates
• Gift wrap, packaging and box-liner artwork
• Fabric, sticker and print-on-demand mockups
• Website section backgrounds and banners
• Greeting cards, invitations and stationery
• Phone and desktop wallpapers

How to use it

1. Pick a canvas size preset, or set a custom width and height.
2. Add a layer and choose its source: a built-in shape, a simple icon, typed text, an uploaded image, or an uploaded cutout.
3. Adjust colour, size, rotation, opacity, spacing, overlap, offset and randomisation until it looks right, and pick a repeat style.
4. Stack more layers for depth — reorder, hide or duplicate them as needed.
5. Save your project as you go, then export a high-resolution JPEG or PNG once you unlock full access.
