Wallpaper Pattern Maker

Tile a piece of any image into a repeating pattern, with any of the 17 wallpaper symmetry groups.

A wallpaper pattern is one small motif repeated across the plane. This tool cuts the motif from your image and repeats it under one of the 17 wallpaper symmetry groups, from p1, a plain repeat, to p4m and p6m, whose mirrors and rotations turn any photo into something like a kaleidoscope tile.

Pick the group, set the tile size, and move the motif across the picture to choose which part is repeated. Rotation turns the whole pattern. Because the tile is cut from a real image, the result keeps its texture and color, which is what sets it apart from a drawn pattern.

Export a still as an image, or feed it a video and the pattern moves with it, as MP4, WebM or GIF. Everything renders in your browser; the image never leaves your device.
