PatternLab
Open studioStudio

A pattern studio for designers — free in early access

Real repeats.
Real vector output.

Twenty-nine generative engines, all seventeen wallpaper groups, half-drop and brick repeats, colorways with contrast checks, and SVG, PDF and EPS with CMYK warnings. Every parameter is yours, and every repeat is seamless by construction.

The engines

Twenty-nine generative engines

Halftones, flow fields, reaction–diffusion, all seventeen wallpaper groups — tileable by construction. Plus aperiodic mosaics, which never repeat by design.

Hover a tile to see it move. Every engine is parametric and seeded; the repeating ones tile seamlessly - open the studio to drive them.

In context

It has to look right on the thing

Every pattern previews in context, card, tote, packaging, web, fabric, before you commit a single file to production.

Production

Files a printer will actually accept

This is the part free toys skip.

SVG, PDF and EPS

True vector out. Arcs become cubics and every path stays selectable and editable in Illustrator — the PDF is drawn, not a placed bitmap.

Physical units

Inches or centimetres with DPI control, plus fabric widths and a Spoonflower preset.

CMYK gamut checks

Out-of-gamut brand colours are flagged before they surprise you on press.

Colorway kits

Export every colorway of a pattern in one zip, named and organised.

Scale tiers

S / M / L repeat variants generated together, with a README for the studio.

Real repeats

Half-drop, brick and offset repeats at ½, ⅓ and ¼, checked at the tile seam.

An honest comparison

Why not just prompt an image model?

Image models are genuinely good at ideas. They're the wrong tool for a brand system, for four specific reasons.

Reproducible by seed

A seed plus parameters regenerates the exact same artwork in six months. A prompt does not.

Real editable vectors

You get paths, not pixels. Recolour, rescale, and hand off to a printer without a trace step.

Seamless by construction

Every repeating pattern tiles by construction, checked pixel-by-pixel in CI. The aperiodic styles are labelled as non-repeating, never sold as seamless.

Consistent as a family

One system produces hero, secondary, micro and texture variants that belong together.

We use AI too, for the first idea. The prompt panel proposes a recipe; the engines make it reproducible.

Pricing

Free while we're in early access.

One plan, no card, no watermark, no trial clock. Every engine and every production format is open — including PDF, EPS and batch export.
