How it works: Each pattern is generated using a mathematical algorithm applied to a grid of cells. Stripes alternate rows, checkerboard toggles by position parity, diamond uses Manhattan distance from center, spiral walks inward layer by layer, wave applies a sine function, and cross fills the center axes.

Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively

What is Pattern Grid Generator?

The Pattern Grid Generator lets you create pixel art and grid patterns by clicking cells in a customizable grid. You set the grid size (from 4x4 to 64x64), pick colors, and click or drag to fill cells. The tool supports a color palette, fill and erase tools, and grid lines. The output can be exported as PNG or SVG. All processing happens in the browser.

This tool renders a grid using the Canvas API. Each cell stores a color value. Clicking or dragging fills cells with the selected color. The grid can be exported as a raster (PNG) or vector (SVG) image.
