Questions about these pattern backgrounds
Can I use these pattern backgrounds for free?
Yes, for personal and commercial projects. All we ask is a link back to BigFoto.com; the box at the top of the page has a credit link you can copy.
Are these drawn patterns or photos?
They are photos of real patterns: tiles, mosaics, fabric, fences, paving and frost. The stripes, grids and tiles repeat across the whole frame, so they work as backgrounds and textures; the AI abstract backgrounds are linked below for drawn designs.
