Rep-Tile is a simple app for seamlessly filling large a canvas from a smaller pattern image. AI image generators like Midjourney have the incredible ability to generate seamlessly-repeating pattern tiles. But what do you do with them? Rather than painstakingly place them over and over in an image editing program, you can use this simple app to automatically create a beautiful patterned image. Rep-Tile allows you create a large, patterned wallpaper from any image selected from your photo library. A slider allows you to control the pattern size. Save the images back out to your device, for use as backgrounds or anything else you desire. It's easy, with no in-app purchases or advertising.
