Loocie Design vs Repper

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.

Repper turns a source image into a seamless, tileable pattern that users can adjust and export. It offers more than 30 tiling styles, including classic wallpaper groups and the Penrose Diamond, plus color controls and effects such as duotone, black-and-white, gradients, halftone, and Metamorphosis. Users can start from bitmap or vector images or browse more than a million Unsplash photos inside the app. Repper also offers 3D previews of products including clothing, pillows, scarves, notebooks, and fabric. Export formats include JPEG, PNG, and SVG/vector; the Pro membership page lists exports up to 35k × 35k pixels. Desktop and tablet access runs in a browser without installation, and Repper Mobile runs in a phone browser on iOS and Android. The mobile and desktop apps are separate, so designs cannot be accessed across both. Repper Mobile is free, but uploads are limited to the first two weeks and exports are simplified. Pro Monthly costs $12.99 a month, including taxes, and includes commercial use rights, 3D preview and export, and account sync and backup.
