The Fastest Way to Resize Repeat Patterns in Illustrator

Описание: Scaling repeat patterns in Adobe Illustrator has never been easier. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to quickly resize your pattern tiles using Illustrator’s artboard tools—no complicated math, no rebuilding your pattern, and no frustration.

This workflow is perfect for surface designers preparing files for Spoonflower, print-on-demand platforms, licensing submissions, or product production. You’ll learn how to duplicate artboards, scale your artwork proportionally, and export multiple sizes of the same repeat pattern efficiently.

Whether you need a small repeat for fabric or a large-scale repeat for wallpaper, this method will save you time and help you work more professionally.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:
• Duplicate artboards to create multiple pattern sizes
• Scale artwork proportionally without breaking the repeat
• Prepare patterns for Spoonflower size requirements
• Organize and label your artboards for easy exporting
• Export production-ready files quickly and efficiently

This is one of the biggest workflow improvements Illustrator has introduced for surface designers, and once you learn it, you’ll use it constantly.
