Loocie Design
What it is
Loocie Design is a web-based studio for turning artwork motifs into seamless repeating patterns for fabric, wallpaper, wrapping, stationery, and print-on-demand products. It is not a drawing app: motifs need to be made elsewhere and brought into Studio. Extract accepts PNG, JPG, WEBP, and SVG files, identifies motifs on a sheet, cleans them, and passes sprites to Make Tile. Make Tile arranges motifs over a solid or patterned ground and exports print-ready PNG output. Repeat choices include Brick, Half-drop, Grid, Diamond, and Scatter, with a background layer and up to four motif layers. Preview displays the repeat across the screen and checks vertical, horizontal, and four-corner joins. A .loocie project file can bundle sprites, layout, and background. Studio works in a browser on desktop, tablet, and phone, with bottom tabs and pinch-to-zoom on smaller devices. The Studio beta is free. Signed-in uploads are private per account, and site files are automatically deleted after a short time. Sprite Clean is experimental and may produce rough results.

The verdict
Loocie Design focuses on building, previewing, and exporting pattern repeats from existing artwork. Its beta is free, but users need a separate tool to create motifs.
Who it suits
Loocie Design suits people who already create motifs elsewhere and want to arrange and check them as repeating patterns. It supports use on desktop, tablet, and phone.
