They can also come in handy for various printing projects or website designs.

You can download the premade patterns below or get the Photoshop .pat file here.

How to install a pat. file

A pattern is usually an image that can be tiled seamlessly to create a pattern.Once you’ve downloaded a pattern, you will have to unzip it first. Than you have a .pat file that has to be installed in Photoshop in order to use it on your artwork.

First copy the .pat files into:

Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS\Presets\Patterns

To load a pattern set, first open Photoshop, go to the Patterns palette then click the small arrow in the top right corner and choose “Load Patterns”. Find the .pat file you have just copied to the Patterns folder in step 1, hit ‘open’ and select ‘Add’. Next time you open Photoshop, the new patterns will be in the pattern library already.
