TextileGen is web software for creating textile patterns from ideas, sketches, and fabric images, then developing repeats, colorways, and product previews. Its generator accepts text and optional JPG, PNG, or WebP references, with controls for repeat structure, motif scale, density, and color direction. An extractor reconstructs reusable flat artwork from fabric photos, garments, and other visual references. Repeat choices include block, half-drop, and brick, with previews from 1x1 to 8x8. The colorway tool creates coordinated palette versions while preserving motifs and repeat relationships, including custom target colors. Mockups preview designs on garments, home textiles, wallpaper, and accessories to assess scale, placement, and direction before sampling or presentation; they do not replace physical material and print tests. Extraction, repeat generation, and colorway generation each cost 40 credits per generated image, with refunds for failed tasks. Pro costs $15.90 a month and Ultra costs $24.90 a month; yearly plans are 190.80 USD and 298.80 USD respectively.
