In their own words
JUMI PatternMaker
JUMI PatternMaker is a free browser-based tool for designing seamless repeating patterns. When an element crosses a tile edge, the editor redraws it on the opposite side, including rotation-aware wrapping. The editor includes shapes, lines, searchable icons, animal and food motifs, stickers, botanical motifs, blobs, text, uploads, and templates. Elements can use solid or gradient fills, strokes, stroke styles, and opacity. Users can upload SVG or PNG artwork as tileable elements, and recolour SVG fills. Patterns export as SVG or PNG at 1000, 2000, 4000, or 8000 pixels, with an option for a transparent PNG background. Work auto-saves in the browser, and editable projects can be saved as JSON and reopened later. Artwork, uploads, and saved patterns stay in the user's browser, rather than being sent to JUMI. Saved work is tied to that device and browser, does not sync, and cannot be recovered by JUMI if browser data is cleared or the device is lost. The tool is optimized for desktop and tablet; creating patterns on a phone requires a larger screen.
Loocie Design
Loocie Design is a web-based Studio for turning artwork motifs into seamless repeating patterns for fabric, wallpaper, wrapping, stationery, and print-on-demand products. It is free during its beta and works on desktop, tablet, and phone. It is not a drawing app: users create motifs elsewhere and bring them into Studio. Extract accepts PNG, JPG, WEBP, and SVG files, detects and cleans motifs from a sheet, then sends sprites to Make Tile. Make Tile arranges motifs over solid or patterned grounds and exports print-ready PNGs. Repeat options include Brick, Half-drop, Grid, Diamond, and Scatter, with a background layer and up to four motif layers. Preview displays the repeating tile full-screen and checks vertical, horizontal, and four-corner joins. Projects can be downloaded as.loocie files containing sprites, layout, and background. Signed-in uploads are private per account, while site files are automatically deleted after a short time. Sprite Clean is an experimental single-motif cleanup tool, and results may be rough.
