Tilework turns a small drawing into seamless patterns that repeat forever with no visible seam. This is surface design and print export in one tool: design the tile, watch the edges wrap live, and export art that is ready for fabric, wallpaper, or a print-on-demand shop. - Repeat modes for full drop, half-drop, brick, and mirror - Live edge-wrapped preview so the tiling is always true - Print export as PNG at real print resolution plus clean SVG - Palette tools, including pulling colors from a photo - Autosave keeps your work safe if the app closes This pattern maker is built for hobbyists and makers who sell the surface design patterns they create.
