Have you ever created a pattern tile in Procreate—or any other app—only to upload it to your POD shop and realize the seams don’t quite line up?

Yeah… I’ve been there too.

That’s exactly why I built a simple and free Pattern Preview Tool for Procreate right here on my website—so you can test your seamless patterns before uploading them to platforms like Spoonflower, Redbubble, or Zazzle.

What It Does:

This tool allows you to drag and drop your pattern tile right into the browser window and see how it repeats across a canvas. You can:

• Zoom in and out to check the edges
• Preview how your pattern tiles seamlessly (or not)
• Use it on desktop or iPad—perfect for Procreate users

Best of all? It’s fast, free, and doesn’t require any log-in.

You can also watch my video below where I demonstrate 2 different ways to test your patterns, one inside the Procreate app and the other using my pattern preview tool.

Why I Created the Seamless Pattern Preview Tool:

As someone who creates and sells patterns for print-on-demand products, I needed a quick and easy way to check my seams without loading them into Photoshop or uploading them blindly to Spoonflower. This tool saves me time—and now, I want it to help you too!

Final Thoughts:

This seamless pattern preview tool for Procreate users is something I wish I had when I started designing patterns. Whether you’re new to seamless design or a seasoned artist, I hope it makes your workflow smoother and more enjoyable.
