## What is CSS Background Pattern Generator?

CSS Background Pattern Generator is a tool for creating patterned backgrounds with CSS `**background-image**` and checking both the preview and generated code at the same time. It lets you build dotted, striped, grid, zigzag, and other backgrounds without exporting image assets.

It is useful when you want a lightweight decorative background, need to match a pattern to brand colors, or want to try several background styles quickly during UI work.

## How to Use

1. Choose a pattern type.
2. Set the background color and pattern color.
3. Adjust the pattern size.
4. Change the angle or dot size when the selected pattern supports it.
5. Check the preview and copy the generated CSS.

Each pattern button includes a small preview, so you can choose by appearance instead of relying on the name alone.

## Main Pattern Types

- Dots
- Stripes
- Grid
- Checkerboard
- Vertical lines / horizontal lines / diagonal lines / wavy lines
- Cross / plus / cross dots
- Diamond / triangles / zigzag / long bars / tablecloth

This makes it easy to compare simple utility patterns and more decorative options in one place.

## Main Settings

### Background Color / Pattern Color

These define the base color and the color of the pattern itself. They are the main controls when you want to match a brand palette or soften the overall contrast.

### Pattern Size

This controls the density of the pattern. Smaller values make the pattern repeat more tightly, while larger values create a bolder background.

### Angle

This appears on patterns such as stripes and diagonal lines. It helps you tune the direction of the pattern to better match the layout.

### Dot Size

This setting appears for dot patterns and changes the size of the dots themselves independently of the repeat size.

## Input and Output Example

For example, if you choose stripes with `**#1e1b4b**` as the background color, `**#fbbf24**` as the pattern color, `**20px**` as the size, and `**45deg**` as the angle, the output looks like this:

```css
background-image: linear-gradient(
  45deg,
  #fbbf24 25%,
  transparent 25%,
  transparent 50%,
  #fbbf24 50%,
  #fbbf24 75%,
  transparent 75%,
  transparent
);
background-size: 20px 20px;
background-color: #1e1b4b;
```

Some patterns can also include `**background-position**`, so the output includes the properties needed for that pattern.

## Use Cases

- Decorating hero sections or content blocks without image files
- Adding a light texture behind cards, buttons, or banners
- Creating reusable background CSS for a design system
- Comparing several background styles quickly during landing page work

## Things to Keep in Mind

- Very dense or high-contrast patterns can make text and UI harder to read
- The generated output is background CSS only and does not include layout or spacing styles
- More decorative patterns are worth testing at the actual screen size before you ship them
