Pattern Generator
Seamless background patterns: dots, grid, stripes and zigzags. Pick colors & spacing, download a tileable PNG.
About the pattern maker
This tool generates seamless, tileable patterns in four families: dots, grid, stripes and zigzag. You set the foreground and background colors, the spacing between repeats and the thickness of each stroke, and the tile is drawn at exact pixel dimensions so that copies placed side by side line up without a visible seam.
Seamless tiles are what you need for wrapping paper, notebook covers, sticker sheet borders, presentation backgrounds and website sections. A 400 pixel tile can be downloaded for repetition in CSS, and a 1024 pixel version is provided for larger use where a single image is simpler than tiling.
How to use it
- Choose a pattern family that matches the tone you want — dots for soft, grid for technical, stripes for retro.
- Set the foreground color, then the background it sits on.
- Adjust spacing and thickness until the preview looks balanced at small size.
- Download the tile, or the 1024 square if you need one large image.
FAQ
Will the edges really match?
Yes. The shapes are positioned on a fixed grid that wraps at the tile boundary, so repeated copies align exactly. Avoid scaling the tile by a non-integer factor, which breaks alignment.
What can I use the tiles for?
Backgrounds, packaging mockups and sticker sheet borders are the common cases. The packaging sticker guide shows how patterns work alongside a main label.
