CSS Pattern Generator

Use CSS gradients (linear-gradient, radial-gradient, conic-gradient) with repeating variants and background-size to tile patterns. This tool generates pure CSS patterns — stripes, dots, grids, checkerboards, and more — with zero image requests and infinite scalability.

Yes — CSS gradient patterns are rendered by the GPU and scale to any resolution without extra network requests. They're typically faster than serving pattern images, especially on high-DPI displays. Complex patterns with many gradient layers may impact rendering on low-end devices.

You can animate background-position and background-size for scrolling or scaling effects. Direct gradient color animation requires @property for custom properties. For moving patterns, animating background-position with a seamless tile creates smooth infinite scrolling.

Use radial-gradient with background-size for tiling: background: radial-gradient(circle, #000 1px, transparent 1px); background-size: 20px 20px. Adjust the circle size and background-size to control dot size and spacing. This tool lets you configure and preview dot patterns visually.
