Applications

Use SVG patterns over CSS gradients when you need complex shapes, true tiling, and file output for print or design tools. Great for website backgrounds, app textures, social media templates, presentation slides, and printed materials where consistent repeating textures matter.

When to Use Data URI vs External File

For small, single-use patterns (under a few KB), a data:image/svg+xml data URI in your CSS background-image property avoids an extra HTTP request and works perfectly for icons or textures used once. For large patterns or the same pattern reused across many pages, save the SVG as an external .svg file instead — this lets the browser cache it and reduces CSS file size.

Fun Fact: The SVG <pattern> element has been supported in all major browsers since 2009 (including Internet Explorer 9+). Because patterns are mathematically described vector graphics, a single pattern tile can tile infinitely across any size container without ever increasing file size!
