SVG Pattern Gallery
Seamless SVG background patterns as copy-ready data URIs.
Overview
The SVG Pattern Gallery offers a curated set of seamless background patterns — stripes, dots, grids, hex tiles, isometric cubes, herringbone — each rendered as a tiny inline SVG and exposed as a copy-ready data URI. Pick a pattern, tune the colour and scale, and drop the result straight into a CSS background-image property.
The gallery is aimed at frontend developers building landing pages, designers exploring section dividers, slide-deck creators looking for tasteful texture and brand designers who want repeatable backgrounds without a Photoshop license. Long-tail searches like "css svg pattern background data uri", "seamless tileable svg pattern" and "inline svg background dots stripes" all resolve here.
How it works
Each pattern is a hand-tuned SVG <pattern> definition with a fixed tile size and the geometric primitives that compose the motif (rects, circles, paths, polygons). The tile size and primitive coordinates are set so the pattern repeats seamlessly when the SVG is used as a tiled background. Colour, scale and stroke width are exposed as inputs and applied via string substitution on a template, so re-rendering is instant.
The output SVG is encoded as a data:image/svg+xml;utf8,... URI rather than base64 because UTF-8 percent-encoding produces smaller payloads for typical SVGs and stays human-readable in DevTools. The data URI can be pasted into a CSS rule or wrapped in a background: url(...) repeat. For HTML embedding the raw SVG is also offered.
Examples
Dots, 24px tile, slate on white → background: url("data:image/svg+xml;utf8,...") repeat;
Diagonal stripes, 16px, neutral → minimal banner background
Hex tiles, 32px, blue/grey → tech-product hero
Isometric cubes, 40px → 3D-feel landing background
FAQ
Are these patterns truly seamless?
Yes. Each pattern's tile is mathematically aligned so its right edge meets its left and its bottom meets its top without visible seams.
Should I use the data URI or an external SVG file?
For small patterns the data URI is faster (no extra request) and survives in static HTML. For very large patterns or shared themes, a separate .svg file with HTTP caching is leaner.
Can I change colours dynamically?
The data URI is static. For runtime theming, inline the raw SVG into the DOM and target its fills with CSS or use SVG currentColor.
Are the SVGs accessibility-safe?
Pure decorative backgrounds should set aria-hidden="true" on the wrapping element. The patterns themselves contain no text or interactive content.
Are they free to use commercially?
Yes. The patterns are hand-coded original SVGs with no licence restrictions.
