Patternly vs Recraft

Patternly is a web tool that turns uploaded artwork or written descriptions into seamless patterns for fabrics, wallpaper, crafts, and digital products. It supports ordinary seamless repeats and multi-directional layouts built from rotated, mirrored, and scaled arrangements. Live previews show tiled results in 3×3 or 5×5 grids. Output sizes range from 500px swatches to 10,000px production files, with exports in PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, TIFF, and WEBP at up to 600 DPI in RGB or CMYK. Designs remain in a dashboard for later review and re-export, with unlimited projects. New users receive 10 credits without entering a card; each pattern uses 3 credits. One-time packs cost £3.00 for 10 credits, £5.00 for 20, £9.00 for 40, or £20.00 for 100. An Unlimited plan costs £39.99/year and includes unlimited generations, commercial use, and a priority queue. The maker says users can sell resulting designs for fabrics, wallpaper, wrap, and scrapbooks.

Recraft provides text-to-image generation, reference image support and image editing, with output in SVG, PNG, JPG, PDF, TIFF and Lottie formats. API access is available, and API is the listed platform. Its free plan includes 30 daily credits. Monthly AI credits are listed as 1,000 credits per month, alongside the plan-specific credit amounts. Commercial use is limited. Recraft was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The free plan offers a way to use the product without a listed subscription price, while the named tiers specify progressively larger credit totals. The combination of image generation, editing, references and multiple export formats may be relevant to people creating or modifying visual assets, including those who need vector and raster outputs.
