Step & Repeat

Plaid Labs

Step & Repeat

Tile any image into a repeating pattern — for wallpaper, backdrops, packaging, or a step‑and‑repeat print.

Saved Looks⌄

Saves your layout, spacing, rotation, outline/shadow, canvas size and background — not your images, so it stays quick. Handy for switching between clients or events.

Motifs⌄

Add up to images — the pattern mixes them at random as it repeats. Transparent PNGs work best.
