PatternDraw is the first app tailor-made for drawing patterns on iPad & iPhone. Now, you can sketch, paint, and create seamless repeating patterns in one powerful tool—without switching between multiple apps or relying on desktop software.
Key features:
- Live Pattern Preview
- Create Multiple Colorways
- Turn Any Image into Patterns
- 20+ Pattern Styles
- 100+ Professional Brushes
- Production-Ready Export
** Live Pattern Preview **
See your pattern tile in real-time as you draw. No export-and-check cycles. No guesswork. What you see is what you get—instantly previewed across your chosen repeat method while your brush is still moving.
** Create Multiple Colorways in Seconds **
Create a range of colorways for your pattern in seconds. PatternDraw can now automatically separate each color into different layers, so you can manage them easily with drag-and-drop. Reorder colors, shuffle your palette, or randomize new combinations—designing colorways has never been simpler.
** Turn Any Image into Patterns **
Transform any image into a unique pattern with one tap. Import photos, sketches, or illustrations and instantly apply any pattern style. Complete creative control, zero technical barriers.
** 20+ Pattern Styles **
Access every repeat style you need: basic grids, half-drop, brick, mirror, diamond, and complex geometric layouts. Switch between methods instantly to explore different design directions without redrawing.
** 100+ Professional Brushes + Photoshop Import **
Our curated brush library covers everything from technical line work to expressive textures. Need your signature brush? Import your custom Photoshop brushes directly and work with the tools you already love.
** Production-Ready Export **
Export print-ready files for fabric manufacturers, wallpaper production, packaging design, or digital applications. Your patterns export clean, seamless, and ready for any commercial workflow.
** Universal Purchase—Design Anywhere **
One purchase unlocks PatternDraw on both iPad and iPhone. Use your iPad for detailed studio work, or sketch new ideas on your iPhone when inspiration strikes.
** Built by Designers, for Designers **
Two years ago, we launched FashionDraw. Our community of professional designers immediately asked: "Can it create patterns?"
We tried every existing solution. Professional software felt bloated and unintuitive. Consumer apps couldn't handle serious design work. Nothing bridged the gap.
So we built PatternDraw—the tool we wished existed. A professional-grade pattern design app that feels as natural as sketching on paper, with the precision and export quality your projects demand.

ipad - its very fun 😀- love the colorways - shuffle colors is next level amazing - but can u put the shuffle icon outside the colorway (too many taps) and make colorway a floating bar or minimize when I shuffle - so I can see the color changes as they happen (partly hidden by the colorway bar)Bucket fill please - color drop is sloooow and cludgy and a way to access /preset the color threshold - type in number percent - and have in prefs barexport as layers - psd - exports as a flattened png 😞- need ability to have separate layers export for serious work (at least on the last version)ditto import a psd as layers (not flat)would be nice :)ability to import an existing color palette into the colorway; grab one from say outside the app like Coolors etc- pen sizes — allow me to preset diff common sizes I use - I use more than one size in say ink pens - way bigger sizes for certain pen tools - like doing a wash - overall- VERY impressed at the speed of this update- also which one of the pattern tools is the Ogee one ?-I notice I can now create a 12 in 300 dpi tile - great ! - - maybe list all the new updates - so I don’t miss them and also with an explainer video or link to a YT vid - love it ! can’t wait for more updates

This is the App I have been waiting for ever since I got my very first iPad Pro back in 2017! I have gone back and forth these many years between Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, and most recently Affinity Designer. Each have their pros and cons. I really believe It all really just comes down to how each individual likes to create. And for me Pattern Draw has me being able to stay in my creative work zone without having to think about any of the technical navigation required in the other applications. Seamless patterns means NO mishaps of lines showing up in my patterns. Changing out any color is a breeze! I am having so much FUN making patterns nonstop! THANK YOU Pattern Draw for creating this amazing App! 💕
Developer Response
Thank you so much for your amazing support! It is wonderful to hear that PatternDraw helps you stay in your creative zone.As fashion designers ourselves, we actually used many other apps before creating PatternDraw. Between our own experience and the feedback we received from our FashionDraw users, we knew we could build something better. We wanted to create a tool that allows pattern designers to focus entirely on their creativity while worrying less about technical navigation or the mechanics of making a repeat.We will continue to listen to your feedback to make the app even better. Thank you again for being part of our community!

I really enjoy using Pattern Draw. It has significantly sped up my pattern-making workflow — creating repeats is much faster, and being able to see everything instantly in the pattern preview makes a huge difference. The interface is intuitive and the app feels thoughtfully designed for surface pattern designers.The only issue I’ve encountered is with resolution. I create my canvas at 2500 × 2500 pixels with 400 DPI, but the exported result ends up at 210 DPI. I hope this is something that can be fixed in future updates, as higher-resolution output is important for professional use.Overall, it’s a fantastic app that I truly enjoy working with, and it has already become an essential part of my process.

This is a great app for creating patterns. The developer really cares about getting it right and making this app the best it can be. The customer support is top notch. As it is, it’s a powerful tool, but coming soon are some really great features that will make it even better.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for all your valuable feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to suggest these features.We’re currently working on displaying layers in full when they move outside the canvas. We’re about halfway through and hope to have this ready in 2–3 weeks.We’ll also continue exploring more options for color randomization. In the future, we may add filter options, but for now we’re keeping a fully random approach. While some palettes may not be usable, the benefit is that the possibilities are endless.Your idea about adjusting the shade and saturation of the entire palette is great. We’re looking into the possibilities.Thanks again for your support. Please stay tuned.
