What Is PatternPAL Pro?
PatternPAL Pro is a browser-based pattern testing application built for surface pattern designers. PAL stands for Print Approval Lab — your personal workspace to preview, analyze, and export seamless repeating patterns for any textile, wallpaper, or digital product.
Upload your pattern file, choose your repeat type (full drop, half drop, or brick), scale it to actual size, test how it looks in different contexts, and export production-ready files in the sizes and formats your manufacturer needs — whether that's Cricut, Silhouette, Spoonflower, Etsy, or custom print shops.
100% browser-based. No servers. No AI. No data uploaded. Everything stays on your computer. Start with 3 free tests, then upgrade to Free Account for unlimited testing, or go Pro for powerful export options and advanced analysis tools.

Built By an Educator, For Designers
Amanda Corcoran's Story
After 8 years as a surface pattern designer and 3 years teaching the craft to thousands of students, from complete beginners to experienced professionals, I kept seeing the same frustration. I saw the same problem over and over: designers stuck in expensive design software, struggling to test how their patterns would actually look when manufactured.
Testing and exporting patterns in Photoshop means hours of manual resizing, no built-in seam checking, and no quality analysis. Procreate requires plugins. Manufacturers have strict file requirements. And you still have to export files multiple times in different sizes, DPI levels, and formats.
So I built PatternPAL Pro — a free, browser-based tool designed specifically for pattern designers. Test your repeats instantly. Export in the exact sizes and formats your manufacturer needs. No servers, no AI, no data uploads. Just a clean, fast tool for testing patterns.
I've now taught 2,000+ students and coached 100+ professional designers. PatternPAL Pro is the result of everything I've learned about what surface pattern designers actually need.

100% yes. Your pattern never leaves your computer. PatternPAL Pro is entirely browser-based — all processing happens on your device. We don't upload your files to our servers, we don't use AI to analyze them, and we don't store your images.
When you close the browser tab, your pattern is gone. This is especially important for designers protecting proprietary designs.
PatternPAL accepts JPG, PNG, and TIFF files. Most designers import PNGs from Photoshop or Procreate, or JPGs exported from any design software.
Pattern size doesn't matter — PatternPAL automatically scales and tests at any size you choose (2" to 24"). You can upload a small square repeating unit or a full pattern comps.
Yes! PatternPAL Pro exports are specifically optimized for both Cricut and Silhouette Design Space. Our Pro features include:
- Pattern Fill Export (12x12" digital papers in Cricut/Silhouette formats)
- Automatic +1px overlap to fix the Silhouette white grid bug
- Commercial-ready metadata included
- Custom size exports for both platforms
Whether you're making digital papers for scrapbooking or fabric designs for print-on-demand, PatternPAL gets your files production-ready.
Easyscale Export lets you create multiple pattern sizes in one batch. You specify the sizes you need (e.g., 4", 6", 8", 12"), choose your format (JPG, PNG, or TIFF), pick your DPI (150 or 300), and PatternPAL generates all versions and delivers them as a single ZIP download.
This saves hours of manual exporting in Photoshop. You get the exact sizes your manufacturer requires, with upscaling protection to prevent quality loss.
PatternPAL supports three repeat types:
- Full Drop: The pattern repeats directly below itself (simplest, most common)
- Half Drop: Every other row is offset by half the pattern width (creates diagonal movement)
- Brick: Alternating rows offset like bricks (another diagonal option)
You can test all three instantly to see which repeat type looks best for your design.
Yes! If PatternPAL Pro isn't right for you, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on Pro subscriptions. No questions asked. Just email us at [email protected].
Absolutely. PatternPAL Pro is designed for commercial use. Export your patterns and sell them on Etsy, Spoonflower, Cricut Design Space, or use them in your own product lines. The tool is simply for testing and exporting — the design is yours.
