ShiWen: Pattern Maker
Kaleidoscope & Seamless Tiles
Free · In‑App Purchases
Turn any photo into a seamless pattern, mandala, or kaleidoscope design.
ShiWen is a pattern maker for designers, illustrators, crafters, and visual creators on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Import a photo, drawing, lettering, or everyday texture, then move the sampling frame to create kaleidoscope art, symmetrical patterns, mandalas, repeats, and seamless tiles.
【Turn Images into Patterns】
Import from Photos or Files, or shoot with the camera. Drag the sampling frame to discover new compositions. Photos, illustrations, traditional motifs, natural textures, fabrics, and handmade artwork can all become patterns.
【20+ Pattern Styles】
Explore more than 20 kaleidoscope and geometric styles based on symmetry, rotation, reflection, interlocking, and repetition. One image can become entirely different mandalas, symmetrical patterns, repeat designs, and seamless textures.
【Real-Time Sampling】
Drag the sampling frame and adjust its width, height, rotation, and output size. Every change appears directly in the preview.
【70+ Color Palettes】
Choose from more than 70 palettes and quickly explore new color combinations.
【Visual Styles】
Switch between the original image, watercolor, oil painting, rubbing, and sand effects to give the same pattern a different texture and mood.
【Layered Mandalas】
Adjust the number of petals and combine up to six concentric layers to create richer mandala compositions from the same source image.
【14 Product Mockups】
Preview the real result on 14 real objects before you download.
【One-Tap Cutout】
Remove the background from a source image or pattern to create a transparent PNG. Refine the result with the brush, eraser, and invert tools while preserving the original colors and details.
【AI HD】
Enhance small or blurry source images on-device, or apply AI HD to the finished pattern, preserving more detail for pattern creation and high-resolution export.
【Print-Ready Export】
Export PNG, JPG, PDF, layered PSD, or TIFF. Supports millimeters, centimeters, inches, and pixels, A-series and US paper sizes, and social image presets.
【Signature Watermark】
Add your own signature watermark to PNG and JPG exports.
【Local Gallery】
Source images, saved patterns, and cutout assets are organized separately.
Image processing happens on your device. No account is required, and your images never leave the device.
