Seamless Pattern Generator — Tileable Backgrounds, Patterns & Vector Tiles

About this plugin

Seamless Pattern Generator builds a repeating tile out of the settings you choose, and fills your layers with it. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is picked from a catalogue, so the pattern is yours rather than one of a set everybody else is also using.YOUR IT REVIEW CAN CHECK THIS, NOT TAKE MY WORDThis plugin declares no network access. Figma prints that on this page beside the last-updated date — so the person who approves plugins where you work can confirm it without contacting me. No server, no account, no sign-in, no analytics — nothing about you or your file is sent or logged anywhere, because there is nowhere for it to go. There is no library to fetch. The only thing kept is a couple of numbers on your own machine: how much of the free allowance you have used, and how big that allowance was. A summary you can paste into a security ticket is built into the panel.THE SEAM IS THE WHOLE POINTA tile only repeats properly if what leaves one edge arrives at the opposite one. Every shape that spills over an edge is placed again on the other side, so the joins disappear. That is not a claim about how it looks — it is a rule the build follows, and a test fails if any shape is ever left without its twin.THE PREVIEW SHOWS THE REPEAT, NOT THE TILEThe panel draws the tile repeated in a block, because a single tile tells you nothing about whether it repeats. You are looking at the thing you will get.CHANGE THE NUMBERS, NOT THE ARTWORKMotif, tile size, motif size, how many per tile, rotation, opacity, two colours, a half-drop offset, and a seed for the scattered ones. The same seed always gives the same pattern, so you can write it down and come back to it.FILL WHAT YOU HAVE SELECTEDSelect frames or shapes and fill them in one go. The pattern tiles at the size you set, whatever the layer is, and it keeps tiling when the layer is resized.AND THE TILE ITSELF, AS VECTORSFigma can only tile an image, so a fill is a picture of your tile. $5 once writes the tile into your file the other way as well: a component made of real vector shapes, which you can open, recolour, restyle and swap in one place, and which stays crisp at any size. That is the part a picture cannot do.FREE, AND WHAT $5 ADDSThe preview is free and unlimited — every motif, every setting, as long as you like. Filling your layers is free for the first 50 layers, across every file. $5 once, forever, unlocks unlimited filling and writing the tile out as a vector component. No account and no subscription.
