CSS Pattern Generator
Generate repeating-gradient CSS background patterns.
Backgrounds from pure CSS
Repeating-gradient tricks can produce stripes, checks, dots, and grids entirely in CSS — no image, no HTTP request. This generator builds those repeating-gradient background patterns with a live preview so you can design a texture visually.
CSS patterns are crisp at any resolution and trivially recolorable, which makes them great for section backgrounds and cards. Tune the pattern and copy the background CSS to add subtle visual interest without an asset.
Copy-ready pattern
Repeating-gradient patterns render stripes, dots, and grids with no image and no HTTP request. The CSS is generated in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Which patterns can I make?
Diagonal stripes from repeating-linear-gradient, a grid from two linear gradients, and dots from a radial gradient, each in two colors you choose.
Why doesn't the size field change the stripes?
Stripe width is fixed at 10px bands in the gradient itself; the size field sets background-size, which only applies to the grid and dots patterns. Edit the 10px and 20px values to resize stripes.
Are CSS patterns better than image files?
Usually. They need no download, stay crisp at any zoom level, and can be recolored with a CSS change, though complex patterns can cost more to paint than a small image.
