Kaleido Pattern

Big 1.0 update: Endless striking design options for your patterns: now with tap-to-edit controls, new Japanese, Hexagon and Square modes, posterize & duotone.

Turn any image into seamless, repeatable patterns, effortlessly, like a kaleidoscope. Kaleido Pattern is a pattern-making app built on geometric principles, for everyone who loves patterns. Start from your own artwork, drawings, or photos and watch complex, seamless repeats emerge in real time. Creating patterns is playful, intuitive, and almost meditative, ideal for experimenting, discovering symmetry, and refining ideas. With the new posterize effect you can even turn busy images and photos into clean, repeatable patterns.

DESIGN BY TAPPING In Wang and Hexagon modes, tap directly on the pattern to change transforms and recolor individual segments. Cycle through multiple source patches with a tap. Shaping a pattern feels direct and hands-on.

MANY WAYS TO TILE Explore a wide range of tiling modes, including Hexagon, Weave, Wang, Seigaiha, and more, each opening up a different family of pattern styles. New in 1.0: Hexagon C, a diamond-based hexagon construction; Square B, a diamond square mode with an optional alternating-rotation variant; and Seigaiha, the traditional Japanese wave pattern, with an optional shippō overlap for layered, interlocking motifs. Refine the look with mode-specific parameters, source wrap modes, and real-time color effects including the new posterize and duotone.

MADE FOR REAL OUTPUT When you are ready to use your designs, PRO unlocks high-resolution export. Export single seamless tiles in 2K or 4K for textures, materials, backgrounds, and surface designs, or export complete pattern surfaces as PNG for wallpapers, print-on-demand, and layout previews. The redesigned exporter supports real-world physical sizes for single tile and PDF grid export, with a live preview of exactly what you will get. Export PDFs for finished pattern prints. Your settings are embedded directly in exported PNGs, so you can reload any image later to keep editing or create color variations.

PRO turns exploration into production-ready output for designers, 3D artists, and serious hobbyists. Universal purchase, one PRO unlock works on both iPad and Mac.
