SVG Pattern Generator, Seamless Tiling Backgrounds, Free
Pick a tile (dots, grid, diagonal lines, chevron and more) set the size, colors and stroke, and watch a seamless repeating background take shape. Copy the tiling SVG or paste-ready CSS, all generated in your browser.
What is the svg pattern generator?
The SVG Pattern Generator creates seamless tiling backgrounds from dots, grid, diagonal lines, cross, chevron, triangles and circles. Control tile size, colors and stroke, randomise for inspiration, then copy the repeating SVG or paste-ready CSS. Free with undo/redo and live preview, all in your browser.
The GigAI SVG Pattern Generator makes the subtle, repeating textures that sit behind hero sections, cards and empty states: the dotted grids, graph-paper lines, diagonal hatches and chevrons you see on polished product pages: without touching Illustrator or hunting for a stock texture. Choose one of seven tile primitives, then dial in the tile size, foreground and background colors, and stroke weight. The preview redraws instantly and the pattern stays perfectly seamless because it's rendered as a real SVG `<pattern>` tile repeated across the canvas, not a cropped image. When you're happy, take the output two ways: copy a clean, scalable tiling SVG you can drop into an `<img>`, a React component or a CSS mask, or copy a ready-to-paste CSS rule that embeds a compact single-tile data-URI and repeats it with `background-repeat`, so the exact same texture renders anywhere a `background-image` does. No extra HTTP request, no sprite sheet. Because every tile is deterministic geometry, the pattern you approve regenerates identically from the same settings, and you can undo/redo through everything you've tried, preview it on light or dark, and randomise for inspiration. Nothing is uploaded: the tile maths, the data-URI encoding and the CSS all run locally, so it works offline and never sees your brand colors.

How to use the svg pattern generator
- 1
Pick a tile
Choose from dots, grid, diagonal lines, cross, chevron, triangles or circles. The preview shows the pattern tiling across the canvas immediately.
- 2
Tune size, stroke & colors
Drag the tile-size slider for density, set the stroke weight for the line tiles, and pick a foreground color plus an optional solid background.
- 3
Preview on light or dark
Flip the preview surface to check the texture against a real background, and randomise or undo/redo until it feels right.
- 4
Copy the SVG or the CSS
Copy the tiling SVG for markup, or the paste-ready CSS with an embedded data-URI. Download the .svg if you'd rather host it. Everything is generated locally.
What SVG Pattern Generator includes
Seven tile primitives
Dots, grid, diagonal lines, cross, chevron, triangles and circles, each rendered as a true SVG <pattern> tile so it repeats seamlessly with no visible seams, no matter how large the fill area.
Tile-size & stroke control
Scale the tile from tight, fine textures to bold, spacious ones, and set the stroke weight for the line-based tiles (grid, lines, cross, chevron, circles) to go from hairline to heavy.
Foreground & background colors
Pick the pattern color and an optional solid backdrop with native color pickers, or keep the background transparent so the texture floats over whatever's behind it.
Copy SVG or paste-ready CSS
Take a clean, scalable tiling SVG for markup and masks, or a CSS rule that embeds a compact single-tile data-URI and repeats it, the exact same texture, no extra HTTP request.
Randomise for inspiration
One click rolls a fresh combination of tile, size, stroke and colors when you're not sure where to start: then fine-tune from there. It's deterministic, so nothing is lost.
Undo, redo & live preview
A big preview on a light or dark surface updates as you tweak, with full undo/redo through every tile, size and color you've tried this session.
Why use our svg pattern generator
Backgrounds that never tile-seam
Because the output is a real repeating SVG tile, the texture stays perfectly seamless at any size. No half-cut dots or misaligned lines the way a cropped raster image gives you.
One texture, two clean outputs
Copy a scalable SVG for markup and masks, or a CSS background-image rule with an inline data-URI, the same pattern, whichever fits your stack, with no separate asset file to host.
Reproducible and on-brand
Every tile is deterministic geometry, so the pattern you approve in review regenerates identically from the same settings, and it's colored with your exact hex values, not a fixed palette.
Private and offline
The tile maths, the data-URI encoding and the CSS all run on your device. Your brand colors and where the background is headed never leave the tab.
Built for the way you work
From quick one-off fixes to daily workflows, see how people put this tool to use.
- Frontend developer
Section & hero backgrounds
Generate a subtle dotted or graph-paper texture and drop the CSS data-URI straight into a section's background-image. No extra asset request, seamless at any viewport width.
- Product designer
Card & empty-state texture
Add a light diagonal-line or cross hatch behind cards and empty states to give flat UI depth, tuned to the brand color and handed off as a reproducible SVG.
- Content & social
Slide and banner backdrops
Export a tiling SVG to sit behind slide content or a banner where a plain color feels bare, without paying for a stock texture pack or opening a design app.
- Indie hacker
Landing-page polish
Layer a faint pattern behind your copy to make a bare landing page feel intentional, free, on-brand and yours to tweak until the density is right.

Common problems, solved
Hit a snag? Here are quick fixes for the issues people run into most.
My pattern looks too busy or too sparse.
Adjust the tile-size slider, a smaller tile packs the motif more densely, a larger tile spaces it out. For line tiles, lowering the stroke weight also makes a dense pattern feel lighter.
The background is transparent when I wanted a solid color.
By default the tile background is transparent so it floats over your page. Turn on the background color and pick a hue to bake a solid backdrop into the pattern itself.
The stroke slider doesn't change the dots or triangles.
Dots and triangles are filled shapes, so stroke weight doesn't apply to them. Stroke affects the line-based tiles, grid, lines, cross, chevron and circles. Switch to one of those to see it take effect.
The CSS pattern looks different from the SVG preview.
The CSS uses a single-tile data-URI sized to one tile and repeated by the browser, so faint sub-pixel rendering can differ from the multi-tile SVG. Set background-size to the tile size (shown in the snippet) for a pixel-exact match.
Get the most out of it
For a modern 'dot grid', pick dots with a small tile size and a low-contrast foreground close to your background color, subtle beats loud.
Graph-paper look: choose grid with a hairline stroke (1–1.5) and a very light foreground for a clean, technical backdrop.
Keep the background transparent when layering the pattern over an existing colored section. Only bake a solid background when the SVG stands alone.
Prefer the CSS data-URI output for backgrounds. It repeats natively and needs no separate file or HTTP request.
Found the perfect texture? The same tile, size, stroke and colors always regenerate it exactly, so note the settings.
What's new
Recent updates and improvements to the svg pattern generator.

Added light/dark preview surfaces and a transparent-background toggle so patterns can be checked against real page colors before export.
