The latest features
and all that came before
We are constantly adding exciting new features to Repper.
Members get them as soon as they come out.
Improvement
Smarter sample selector
The original sample selector worked fine, but wasn't always easy to spot on busier source images. With this revamp, you'll also know exactly what part of the source image you've selected!
New feature

New tiling
Echo Honeycomb
The Honeycomb tiling is one of our most popular tilings — a real classic. This variation gives it a new dimension similar to our other Echo tilings.
New tiling
Bloom
A flower-like tiling where you control the number of the petals. Its circular design gives you a whole new range of pattern possibilities.
New tiling
Circle Saw
The sister of the new Bloom tiling, this one is not seamless, giving it a distinct edgy look. It requires a bit more practice, but it will be worth the results!
New tiling
Persian Star
This new tiling, inspired by the mesmerizing mosaic patterns found in Islamic art, offers a visually stunning experience.
New feature
Borders effect
This tiling breaks regularity with lots of exciting angles and shapes. It is perfect for large area fills and has a more diverse, almost organic look.
New tiling
High five
This tiling breaks regularity with lots of exciting angles and shapes. It is perfect for large area fills and has a more diverse, almost organic look.
Improvement
Extended dream mode
Many of our users love chilling out with our automatic dream mode. We've now added options to control the speed, tilings, and more!
3D model
T-shirt for women
You could already view your pattern on a men's t-shirt, but why not a women's? Now you can!
3D model
Stacks of cushions
As the cushion is our most popular 3D model, we've added no less than 4 new options, including multiple cushions in a pile.
Workflow
Collection management
Get a better view of your collections, sort your patterns and select your favourites. An essential update for those who love making LOTS of patterns.
Workflow

Get a backdrop perfectly suited to your pattern design — automagically with a single click.

Mug & cup
Mugs and cups are massively popular print-on-demand products. You can now preview your patterns on them on the fly.
3D model
Leggings
Leggings are perfect for full-bleed pattern prints and a favourite among print-on-demand creators.
New tiling
Half brick
By popular request, we've added the half-brick pattern. Comes as both a horizontal and vertical variant.
3D preview
Live preview on product
Curious to see how your pattern will look in real life? You no longer need to wait until production time, because you can now get a live 3d preview in the app.
Even better: you can export these 3D previews to showcase your work.
Vector support
Scalable vector graphics
It was our no.1 feature request, we've worked on it for over a year, and now it's finally here: vector support!
It's still in beta, so we look forward to your feedback and ask for your patience while we implement all tilings. Learn about it on the Help Centre.
New feature
Exact repeats
With the new aspect ratio lock, you can export surface patterns with an exact amount of repeats.
Beyond handy, it allows for new kind of creative possibilities. Read more
Design update
Simpler interface, more possibilities
We've given the app a makeover! The same familiar features in a simpler layout with more room to design.
New tiling
Echo Tartan
Echo Tartan is a sibling of the new Echo Tile. It looks akin to a weaving pattern and comes with packed with diagonal repeats (you decide how many!)
Read the blogpost learn how it works.
New tiling
Echo Tile
Imagine you take a wall tile and on top of repeating the tile, you repeat the tile inwards... That's the new Echo Tile!
Read the blogpost for more details.
New effect
Circular metamorphosis
The Metamorphosis effect is our most popular, so we've extended it with a new form: circular.
It transforms your pattern from the center outward, creating a beautifully balanced, mandala-like result.
New effect
Monotone isn't boring
We can all use a little simplicity in our lives. The new Monotone effect comes with three ways to style your pattern in a single color.
New effect
Recolor with tritone
When Monotone or Duotone aren't enough, Tritone might just be what you're looking for. Choose from the tasty presets or create your own combination.
Bonus feature: Invert the color scheme in one click.
New tiling
Diamond Penrose
Best of both worlds: the intricacy of a Penrose tiling now comes in seamless form as well.
The Penrose is a special kind of tiling called non-periodic. Curious what it means? Learn more.
Nifty feature
A better tiling overview
With so many tilings to choose from, it can be hard to keep an overview.
The tiling selector is now nicely structured, making your favorites easier to find.
New effect
Color editing
Need to tweak the colors of your pattern a bit? You no longer need to head over the Photoshop!
Adjusting colors also helps you get more out of other effects, like boosting Duo Tone.
For Pro members
Extra large exports
Our standard export is up to 5,000 × 5,000 pixels and suits most purposes. But what if you produce large posters, wallpapers or murals?
Pro members can now export patterns up to 35,000 × 35,000 pixels — that's a gigapixel!
Inspiration
Built-in image search
Sharing is part of the internet's DNA. Many people these days are making their artworks available for others to use and remix.
Repper now has built-in image search, powered by Unsplash. This gives you instant access to a million photos to create patterns from, free to use for hobby and commercial projects alike.
Nifty feature
Blend sharp edges
The non-seamless tilings have a distinct look. Sometimes that's what you want, but sometimes you'd wish these sharp tilings looks a little... softer and more seamless.
We've now added edge blending to six of edged tilings, and it give them a whole new dimension. Learn more about it in our help article.
Nifty feature
Mirror metamorphosis
Last October, we released the popular metamophoris effect. Now you can mirror the effect horizontally and vertically to create a beautiful look that is simultanously dynamic and balanced.
Technical improvement
Better sampling performance
Changing the sample selection is one of the most common actions in Repper. We have made the selector a whole lot faster, which should especially benefit less powerful computers and tablets.
New tiling
Cross Weave
This tiling is a playful combination of three parts seamlessly woven together. We've designed it ourselves, so it's unlikely you'll find it anywhere else!
Support
Help Centre launched
We design our software assuming you don't want to read a manual, but we made one just in case.
The newly launched Help Centre contains an overview of all features in the app, as well as some inspiration on how to make the most of Repper.
New tiling
Cross Brick
The classic tilings can get a bit... repetitive. That's why we are always looking for new dynamic tilings.
We've named this one Cross Brick: it's a made up of two different Cross tilings (P4M) and has an half-brick offset to make them seamless.
New tiling
Cross Facade
This tiling combines a Cross (P4M) and a Facade (PMM) pattern into a new seamless pattern.
The Half brick option lets you switch to an alternative cross pattern, making it effectively two tilings in one!
Handy addition
Export snapshots to ZIP
If you have used the Export All Snapshots option before, you may have noticed browsers don't really like downloading many files at once.
From now on, when you export all snapshots at once, they will be downloaded as a single ZIP file. Happy browser, happy pattern designer 😄
New effect
Metamorphosis
We are huge fans of our fellow Dutch artist. This new effect is inspired by and named after his famous artwork Metamorphosis.
It opens up a whole new kind of mind-bending patterns for you to explore.
Technical improvement
Better graphics card support
Some graphics cards on Windows were not playing nicely with the modern web technology we're using. With a bit of code magic, we are now supporting those integrated cards as well.
New tiling
Tiling with a twist
Cairo is a flexible tiling in the truest sense of the word. You can keep it straight, bend it a little or go full zigzag. With this classic wallpaper look, we're sure you'll find lots of great uses for it.
Improved effect
A more realistic halftone
Once a technical limitation, these days halftone is a stylistic choice that looks great with minimalistic patterns. Through some code wizardry, the effect now looks exactly like the real thing.
