Seamless Pattern Studio

One square tile, drawn with a real pen. The eight tiles around it fill in as you draw, so the repeat is visible while the hand is still moving — and what you draw is vector, so it exports as a pattern swatch a designer can drag onto anything.

The stage is one square tile. Draw in it with a Wacom or any pressure-sensitive pen and the eight squares around it fill in live with the same marks: a stroke that leaves the right edge arrives at the left in the same gesture, not on lift, so you never have to imagine the repeat. Each stroke is a closed vector outline, not a raster mark — an elliptical nib whose width follows pressure through a curve you can shape, whose angle follows the stroke, a fixed dial or the pen's tilt, and whose outline is fitted to a small number of curves on pen-up. The pen's own samples are kept with every stroke, so you can select one later and change its brush, and the eraser end of the pen erases across the tile's edge the way it should.

Five repeats: straight, half-drop, brick, mirror and kaleidoscope. The tile has a real size in inches, centimeters or pixels, because a repeat sent to a printer means nothing without one. Export the repeating block as an SVG pattern that Illustrator and Figma register as a swatch, as a Level 2 EPS of flat art any RIP opens, or as an Illustrator file that opens with a named pattern swatch already in the Swatches panel — applied to a sheet or on its own — plus a PNG of the tile at print resolution. Half-drop and mirror repeats are baked into a rectangular block for you, so the file tiles in Illustrator exactly as it did on the stage.

Como usar

1. Set the tile Pick the tile's size and units on the Tile tab and the repeat in the top bar. Four inches straight is the default; press F to fit the tile in the window, or zoom in with the cluster beside it.
2. Draw Draw with a pen or a mouse. The Brush tab holds the nib, the pressure curve and its calibration, the tilt response and how closely the outline follows the ink. Flip the pen to erase, or press E.
3. Adjust Press V to select a stroke, drag it, change its color or its nib, undo with ⌘Z. The Color tab holds the ink, a swatch row and the background, which can be off for a transparent tile.
4. Export Choose the sheet — whole tile blocks or a paper size — then save an SVG pattern, an EPS, an Illustrator file with the swatch, or a PNG tile. Save the project to your account to keep every stroke editable.
