Hello everyone,

sometimes i have troubles exporting seamless pattrns.

I realized a correct seamless pattern with illustrator but when i export it in PNG, as you can see below, the pattern is no more seamless.

I opened it in photoshop and is like all the frame pixels are been nibbled.

Somone know how to fix this broblem?

Thanks a lot.

Double click the pattern in the Swatches panel and check if your pattern tile contains fractional pixels.

Fractional pixels can be the reason for these anti-aliasing effects.

Try to make your pattern without fractional pixels.

Try and set anti-aliasing to "Artwork optimized"

Please open the preferences.

In the preferences turn off the artwork smoothing.

Are there seams visible?
