SVG Pattern Generator

How to use this tool

1. Select one of the six pattern types: dots, lines, grid, crosshatch, zigzag, or diamonds.
2. Choose foreground and background colors and set the square tile size from 8 to 60 px.
3. Copy the SVG markup, copy the ready-to-use CSS background rule, or download the SVG tile.

What this generator creates

This tool creates a standalone square SVG tile with a background rectangle and one geometric motif. Choose dots, lines, grid, crosshatch, zigzag, or diamonds, then set the foreground and background colors and the tile size. The output is ordinary SVG markup sized to the selected width and height; it is not an SVG <pattern> element and does not contain patternUnits or an internal pattern ID.

The selected size is the width and height of each square tile in pixels. CSS can repeat that tile across a panel, hero section, card, or other element. For example, a 24 px grid with a red foreground and white background produces a compact texture that can be reused behind a page section. Check the tiled preview at the chosen size before using it; the grid family draws on the tile's right and bottom edges, so those strokes may look slightly heavier where repeated tiles meet.

Click Copy CSS to copy a complete .pattern-background class rule. It contains a percent-encoded data URI for the current SVG, sets background-repeat: repeat, and matches background-size to the selected tile dimensions. Paste the rule into a stylesheet and apply the class to an element. The same rule is built from the live tile used by the preview, so color, motif, and size stay in sync.

Use Copy SVG when you need the markup for an inline graphic or want to place it in another SVG workflow. Download SVG saves the current tile as a local file, which you can reference by filename in CSS or include with an image element. Both actions use the same generated tile as the code preview and run in your browser; no file is selected or uploaded.

Related SVG technique

SVG also has a separate <pattern> element that can be defined inside an SVG document and referenced as a shape fill. That technique can use attributes such as patternUnits, but this generator does not emit it. The downloaded and copied result is a standalone tile intended for CSS repetition or direct SVG use.

Accessibility and contrast

Patterns used only as decoration generally do not need to be announced to screen readers. The live example is a CSS background, so it does not add an inline graphic to the accessibility tree. If you insert the copied SVG as meaningful inline content, provide an accessible name; if it is decorative, hide that inline SVG from assistive technology. Keep enough contrast between the pattern and foreground content so the texture does not make text harder to read.
