Frequently asked questions

Should I use CSS or SVG for a pattern?

CSS is shorter for simple stripes and dots. SVG handles more complex shapes and lets you reuse the pattern outside CSS.

How do I put the pattern behind my content?

Paste the code onto an element with a background rule, such as a section or the body. Keep text readable by choosing low-contrast pattern colors.

Can I change the pattern size later?

Yes, change the size value in the copied code. A smaller number makes finer repeats and a larger one makes bolder shapes.
