## What is PatternDraw by Fashionary?

PatternDraw is the first app tailor-made for drawing patterns on iPad & iPhone. Now, you can sketch, paint, and create seamless repeating patterns in one powerful tool—without switching between multiple apps or relying on desktop software.

Key features:
- Live Pattern Preview
- Create Multiple Colorways
- Turn Any Image into Patterns
- 20+ Pattern Styles
- 100+ Professional Brushes
- Production-Ready Export

** Live Pattern Preview **

See your pattern tile in real-time as you draw. No export-and-check cycles. No guesswork. What you see is what you get—instantly previewed across your chosen repeat method while your brush is still moving.

** Create Multiple Colorways in Seconds **
Create a range of colorways for your pattern in seconds. PatternDraw can now automatically separate each color into different layers, so you can manage them easily with drag-and-drop. Reorder colors, shuffle your palette, or randomize new combinations—designing colorways has never been simpler.

** Turn Any Image into Patterns **

Transform any image into a unique pattern with one tap. Import photos, sketches, or illustrations and instantly apply any pattern style. Complete creative control, zero technical barriers.

** 20+ Pattern Styles **

Access every repeat style you need: basic grids, half-drop, brick, mirror, diamond, and complex geometric layouts. Switch between methods instantly to explore different design directions without redrawing.

** 100+ Professional Brushes + Photoshop Import **

Our curated brush library covers everything from technical line work to expressive textures. Need your signature brush? Import your custom Photoshop brushes directly and work with the tools you already love.

** Production-Ready Export **

Export print-ready files for fabric manufacturers, wallpaper production, packaging design, or digital applications. Your patterns export clean, seamless, and ready for any commercial workflow.

** Universal Purchase—Design Anywhere **
One purchase unlocks PatternDraw on both iPad and iPhone. Use your iPad for detailed studio work, or sketch new ideas on your iPhone when inspiration strikes.

** Built by Designers, for Designers **
Two years ago, we launched FashionDraw. Our community of professional designers immediately asked: "Can it create patterns?"
We tried every existing solution. Professional software felt bloated and unintuitive. Consumer apps couldn't handle serious design work. Nothing bridged the gap.
So we built PatternDraw—the tool we wished existed. A professional-grade pattern design app that feels as natural as sketching on paper, with the precision and export quality your projects demand.

### 2/5 — 颜色导出出现色差较大，软件容易卡顿，图层多的时候上色也比较麻烦

*2026-08-27*

一是我发现别的软件psd导入后出现色差严重，二是建立的画布多了软件使用明显出现缓慢卡顿的情况，三是如果不是看在四方连续上面确实方便，我都不会考虑购买终身会员，但是！！！凭什么试用7天的那个开通后就不给我购买终身的？这要钓鱼执法吗？还贵，又鸡肋，我还是用别的吧

### 5/5 — Some things

*2026-08-26*

Update, my issue is fixed. 

Cannot get a larger than 8.333 inch canvas at 300dpi, when exporting png, even though I don’t have a background it gives a white background, and it’s not even 300dpi even though I set it as such.  Need to be able to set the amount of layers to get size of canvas the user wants, right now it’s not an option to change it when setting up canvas, nor can you change it when you’re in the canvas.

**Developer response:** We’re happy to let you know that the DPI and background issues have been fixed. We’re also optimizing the app, and larger canvas sizes will be available very soon. Thank you!

### 3/5 — 导出psd失败

*2026-08-18*

导出psd到微信的时候导出来的是图片

### 3/5 — タイトルをまたぐモチーフについて

*2026-08-17*

パターンを描くのが楽しくなるアプリを作っていただきありがとうございます。これができるとかなりデザインの幅が広がるので、機能としてあると大変ありがたいです。

タイルの境界をまたぐモチーフを、1つのモチーフとして編集できる機能があると嬉しいです。

例えば、1匹の動物のイラストをタイルの端に配置すると、イラストがタイルの境界をまたいで表示されます。その後、その動物を大きくしたり小さくしたりしたい場合、現在は境界をまたいだ部分が別々に扱われてしまい、モチーフ全体を1つとして拡大・縮小するのが難しいです。

「タイル境界をまたいでいても、元の画像・モチーフを1つのレイヤー／オブジェクトとして選択し、移動・拡大・縮小できる」機能を追加していただけると、とても便利だと思います。

シームレスパターンを制作する際に、特に役立つ機能だと思います。

### 1/5 — Problemas de resolução

*2026-08-13*

Comprei o app visando o uso para trabalhos profissionais, porém ao importar desenhos as imagens ficam totalmente serrilhadas e com baixa resolução, impossível de entregar um serviço final de qualidade. Não dá pra criar tudo dentro dele pela limitação de pincéis e mesmo criando dentro do app as bordas também ficam serrilhadas. Espero que este problema seja resolvido ou terei jogado meu dinheiro fora ao adquirir a versão vitalícia do app. Estou bem frustrada.

### 2/5 — Please fix undo button and larger canvas options

*2026-08-02*

I am using the paid version. I really like this app and use it regularly, but there are a few frustrating bugs and limitations that make it difficult to rely on.

The biggest issue is the Undo button. Very often, instead of undoing just the last action, it removes a large portion or even all of my drawing. It’s happened multiple times, I have lost a lot of my drawing due to this so I have to be very careful when using it.

I currently use the app only to plan my pattern layouts, since the canvas limitations are also disappointing. It doesn’t support creating files at 300 DPI, and the maximum canvas size is quite restrictive. For example, I wanted to create a 24 × 36 inch canvas at 150 DPI (would have preferred 300dpi) but the height was capped at around 26 inches, so I couldn’t make the document I needed.

The app also allows a very large number of layers, which is great for some users, but I’d gladly trade that for a larger canvas. I don’t need 60 layers, I only need around 10–20 layers for the patterns I make. It would be much more useful if there were an option to reduce the maximum layer count in exchange for being able to work on larger canvases.

This app has a lot of potential, and I enjoy using it, but these issues make it difficult to use for professional design work. I hope the developers address the undo bug and offer more flexibility with canvas size, DPI, and layer allocation in a future update.

### 4/5 — I really like it.

*2026-07-24*

Longtime use heats up my device fast and causes a lot of lag. The brushes also feel a little wonky, I found some of the strokes end earlier than expected or don’t quite pick up pen pressure right so getting the right lines can take some time. However, this app is a really good tool. It’s very satisfying to see the patterns come to life right away, unlike with procreate pattern making. Bought the full version after a very short use period because I find this app genuinely enjoyable. Will continue to use and see if there are any further issues.

### 5/5 — Dubious at first, happy I stuck with it

*2026-07-20*

At first, I was an unimpressed. I would play with it for a bit not sure how to accomplish what I needed to get done, then I would stop for a while. After some time going back, and not giving up I was able to figure it out and now I’m really happy that I stayed with it. This software makes for a nice pattern maker and I can fit it into my current pattern making process now.

### 2/5 — 导出不了psd图案

*2026-07-15*

为什么导出psd格式到电脑上吗，图层上的图案全都没有了

**Developer response:** 我们已经修复了这个问题，非常感谢您的理解与体谅。请将软件更新至最新版本。

### 5/5 — seriously increased my workflow

*2026-07-11*

This app takes away most of the struggles I usually have with pattern making. I actually really enjoy how smooth  and easy it is to draw in, too! The colorways are amazing and just as fun to play with as drawing the patterns are. Absolutely reccommend as it is, but it only keeps getting better with each update. The feature suggestions I have to offer are: Lasso tool getting the same treatment that images got (where going over the boundary doesn’t crop it, I primarily draw and color with lasso tool), Hue/Saturation sliders, ability to save individual layers, bigger brush sizes, exporting different tile sizes (single tile. 3x3, 6x6, etc). Thank you so much for the hard work!
