Q: How many credits does each tool use?

A: Credits reset monthly. Different tools consume different amounts of credits based on the computing power required.

Q: What's the difference between Classic and Advanced models?

A:

Classic Model Quick and cost-efficient, perfect for artistic styles like florals, abstracts, and painterly textures. It's fast (about 10–15 seconds) and uses just 1 credit per pattern. The Classic Model is great when you want creative, expressive results rather than exact geometry or layouts.

Advanced Model Reliable and precise, designed for complex prompts, objects, animals, or even short text. It follows colour guidance more closely (though not always exact HEX matches) and understands composition cues like "spaced out" or "random layout." Generation takes a bit longer (about 45–60 seconds) and uses 10 credits per pattern.

Q: How should I write prompts?

A: Start by describing the main subject or elements you want in your pattern, for example, florals, geometric shapes, or animal prints. Then add details about the style, colour palette, and mood you'd like. Natural, descriptive language works best, no special formatting needed!

If you want even more control, think about:

• Colour scheme: soft pastels, bold contrasts, or earthy tones?
• Composition: do you want the elements close together or evenly spaced?
• Texture: flat and clean, or painterly and organic?

The more specific you are, the closer your results will match your vision.

Example prompts:

• "Vintage-inspired Hawaiian print with soft, faded palm fronds, delicate orchids, and subtle ocean waves, in muted beige, soft olive, and dusty peach."
• "Soft tie-dye pattern with gentle pastel transitions in pink, baby blue, and lavender, creating a dreamy, bohemian aesthetic."
• "Abstract marbling pattern in light pink and cream pastels, with flowing shapes and a subtle paper texture."

Q: Can I add text or create a logo with Patterned AI?

A: Yes! The easiest way to add text or a logo is through the Pattern Builder tool. You can:

• Upload your own logo (PNG with transparent background) using Add image
• Type text directly using one of six system fonts with Add text
• Or click Create AI Element and describe the logo you'd like to generate — for example: "Logo saying 'Patterned AI' in handwritten font, orange HEX F15C4A."

You can also try the Advanced model in the Text-to-Pattern tool to include short text directly in your design.

Q: What does Seamless Pattern Fixer do?

A: Seamless Pattern Fixer transforms any image such as a fabric scan, hand-drawn sketch, or stock illustration, into a perfectly tileable repeat pattern. It uses a smart AI system that analyses your artwork, completes the edges, and blends everything seamlessly, while keeping your original design at the centre of the tile.

Q: What does Pattern Remixer do?

A: Pattern Remixer lets you instantly restyle or blend your existing designs in creative new ways.

Variation:

• Quickly transform your pattern's look using one of 16 built-in style presets from Watercolour and Cartoon to Pencil Drawing and more
• Fine-tune how much of the original style and composition you want to keep
• Adjust the colour palette with a short text prompt

Mixing:

• Combine two images to create something entirely new: one controls the layout, the other defines the style
• Use non-pattern images as inspiration and turn them into seamless patterns
• Perfect when you want the composition of Image A with the artistic feel of Image B

Recoloring: Instantly swap pattern colors while keeping your composition locked

• Auto Palette (Standard) generates random, creative color variations
• Custom Palette (Pro & Business) lets you input specific target Hex codes or pick colors manually

Q: What is the difference between 'Auto Palette' and 'Custom Palette'?

A:

Auto Palette (Standard)

• This is a "Shuffle" tool
• You click a button, and the AI generates creative, random color variations
• Perfect for inspiration and exploring different color schemes

Custom Palette (Pro & Business)

• This is a "Steering" tool
• You input your target Hex codes (e.g., your brand palette)
• The AI uses them as a strict reference to generate the pattern

Q: Does Custom Palette guarantee exact Hex codes?

A: The AI is designed to target your specific colors as closely as possible. While generative models may introduce slight tonal variations to maintain artistic blending, this feature gets you 90% of the way to your target palette, significantly reducing the time needed for final color correction in post-processing.

Q: How is the AI Pattern Editor different from the Seamless Fixer?

A: Think of them as "Creative" vs. "Technical" tools.

Seamless Fixer (Technical Repair Tool)

• Use this when your image has "broken" edges or visible seam lines
• Common for physical scans or standard AI images
• Doesn't change the subject of your design
• Simply repairs the edges to ensure it tiles perfectly

AI Pattern Editor (Creative Design Tool)

• Use this when your pattern is already seamless, but you want to change the content
• Allows you to surgically add, remove, or swap specific elements
• Uses natural language (e.g., "Change this red bird to a blue parrot")
• Modifies content without breaking the existing layout

Q: How do I check if my pattern is seamless?

A: Use our free Seamless Checker to preview how your pattern repeats at different zoom levels. It helps you spot any visible seams, mismatched edges, or misalignments before finalising your design.

Q: How do I get high-resolution files for printing?

A: Use the Pattern Upscaler tool to boost your image quality up to 8,200 × 8,200 px while keeping it perfectly seamless. Simply choose your upscale level (from 2× to 16×) and export a print-ready file. Credit cost varies by scale and output, and upscaling 6× or higher requires a Pro subscription.

Q: Can I use the images generated by PatternedAI for commercial purposes?

A: Yes, you can use the images generated by PatternedAI for both personal and commercial use.

Q: Can I upgrade or downgrade my subscription?

A: Yes, you can upgrade your subscription at any time and will pay the difference pro-rated. However, downgrades will take effect at the end of the billing cycle, and you will still be able to use your remaining credit until the end of the monthly billing cycle.

Q: Can I cancel my plan anytime?

A: Yes, you can cancel your plan at any time from your profile by clicking "manage my subscription" . You'll still have access until the end of your monthly billing period.
