Tartan Pattern Generator
Design authentic tartan and plaid patterns with full control over colors, sett and weave — then export seamless tiles for textiles, branding or the web.
About this tool
The Tartan Pattern Generator lets you build traditional and modern tartans the way weavers do: define a thread count (the sett), choose your palette, and watch the woven pattern render instantly. The simulated twill weave produces the authentic diagonal texture of real cloth rather than a flat grid of squares.
Export your design as a seamless, tileable image or crisp SVG, ready for fabric printing, product mockups, backgrounds or brand systems. Because everything runs in your browser, your designs stay on your device.
