Tiler is a free, browser-based pattern design tool for designers creating repeat artwork for textiles, packaging, stationery, screens, or print. It accepts SVG artwork, lets users define a composition field in millimeters, and supports manual placement or seeded strew controls. The tool requires no account, and its browser-based file processing keeps file reading and writing local to the browser.

Its main strength is repeat construction. Tiler supports straight, half-drop, half-brick, and mirror structures, while edge wrapping handles motifs that cross the field boundary. Designers can recolor, mirror, and adjust opacity for individual placements, change field and motif sizes in millimeters, and inspect neighboring tiles around the working area. This gives users direct control over the composition rather than limiting them to a fixed repeat template.

Tiler also covers the core export needs for pattern artwork, with SVG, PNG, and PDF output. It is a focused option for people who already have SVG motifs and want a straightforward way to arrange, recolor, preview, and export repeats in a browser. The tradeoff is a narrower toolset: it does not offer AI features, integrations, or verified depth as a vector editor. Choose Tiler for free manual repeat construction and local browser-based file handling; choose another tool if advanced vector editing, connected workflows, or AI-assisted pattern creation are central requirements.
