How I Built a Tool for Gradient & Chess-Style Background Patterns
Sometimes, you need to fill empty space with a subtle yet stylish background — like how luxury brands use patterns on their closures. I needed a way to generate such patterns dynamically, so I built a tool that lets you create a chess-style or gradient background pattern from any logo or icon.
What It Can Do:
? Set the number of repeated logos/icons (horizontal & vertical)
? Adjust gaps between them
? Choose chess (uniform size) or gradient (each row smaller) style
? Apply a vertical shift for an offset effect
? Define the max size for the largest repeated image
This makes it easy to generate branded backgrounds, decorative fills, or unique textures for design projects. A simple idea, but one that saves time and adds a polished look effortlessly.
