Photo to Pattern Converter

[patrickroberts]

Hello

I recently made a webpage where you can instantly convert a photo to a pattern or stencil:

http://online.rapidresizer.com/photo-to-pattern

It's not magical. It won't make a perfectly usable pattern. But it's a good starting point and gives you something to print that doesn't cost a fortune in ink. Works best when there's a clear contrast between foreground and background.

You don't have to install any software. Works on Windows and Macs.

You can save the picture file to your computer and print it using your preferred program.

I also now offer a free online raster to vector converter at
http://online.rapidresizer.com/tracer.php
So you can edit the pattern in your favorite drawing program without having to manually trace it.

Please let me know what you think. Ideas for improvements are welcome.

I tried a couple of photo's and they have amazing amount of detail. Seems like it works very well, now have to learn how to complete into a pattern. Thanks so much I bookmarked them.

Here is a pattern of a bearded dragon that I just made using your converter. This was a bit extreme because of the scale detail but it worked like a charm!
Thanks again

Pat, Thank you for sharing, will definitely save much work.
I couldn't get the raster to vector to work after I chose the pic.
I'm a computer dummy so i'm sure it's me. What did I do wrong?
