What it does
Design the source tile with the final background in mind
The quality of a repeating background starts with the source tile. Elements that look balanced inside the square can still create lines or gaps once neighbouring copies appear.
Tile Icons keeps both views visible. Use the central artboard for precise editing and the repeated field around it to understand the final result.
