FAQ
How does the CSS dot pattern work?
A single small radial-gradient dot is repeated as a tiled `background-image`, with `background-size` controlling the spacing between dots — no image file needed, just a few lines of CSS.
Can I use this as a section background?
Yes — paste the generated CSS directly onto any element's background properties, or download the small PNG tile if you need an actual image file (e.g. for a design tool or a context where CSS gradients aren't supported).
What is a dot grid typically used for?
Subtle section backgrounds, bullet journal/planner page templates, design mockup backdrops, or a lightweight decorative texture that doesn't compete with foreground content.
Is anything uploaded when I generate a pattern?
No — the CSS and PNG tile are generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
