CSS Pattern Generator

CSS patterns are resolution-independent, infinitely scalable, and add zero HTTP requests. They render sharply on all screen densities. Image patterns can appear blurry on retina screens and require additional network requests that slow page load.

CSS patterns use repeating-linear-gradient and repeating-radial-gradient with precise colour stops to form shapes. By layering multiple gradients at different angles, complex patterns like hexagons, crosshatch, and chevrons are created without any images.

Yes. Download the SVG tile and import it into Figma or Sketch as a fill pattern. It will tile seamlessly. For tools that do not support SVG fills, download the PNG tile instead.

CSS patterns are very lightweight because they are generated by the browser using math rather than pixel data. A single CSS gradient pattern adds a few hundred bytes to your stylesheet compared to several kilobytes for an equivalent image. They are GPU-accelerated in modern browsers.

Yes. You can animate the background-position property to create scrolling or moving patterns. Combine with CSS transitions on background-size for zoom effects. Use @keyframes for continuous animation loops.

The SVG output gives you a single tile that can be used as a repeating pattern fill in SVG graphics, design tools like Figma and Illustrator, or as an inline SVG background in HTML. SVG patterns are vector-based and scale to any resolution.
