How do you make a seamless pattern in Illustrator?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:21 pm

Making a seamless pattern in Illustrator is easy! To start, create a new document and size it to your desired size. Next, select the Object Tools > Pattern tool and click on the Pattern button. In the Pattern Options dialog box, select the Grid option and click on the OK button. The Pattern Options dialog box will close and the Pattern tool will become active.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, you can end up with a pattern that is not seamless. To avoid this, pay attention to your tile size and make sure the edges of your design line up perfectly.

To create the pattern, click and drag the handles of the Pattern tool around the desired area. When you are finished, release the mouse button and the pattern will be automatically created. You can now select the pattern and use the Object Tools > Transform > Warp tool to adjust the pattern as needed.
