Select the area you want to convert into a pattern, then click OK. An Auto-Resize option is also available, but please note that this ignores the aspect ration of the source image.3

Hints & Tips
- You'll get better results if you crop your image in advance to focus on the part you need, and reduce the number of colours used if possible.
- If you want a particular colour but it isn't surviving the conversion process, try filling the background of the image in with that colour beforehand to force it through.
- This tool is designed to assist you in drawing patterns in the game, and as such, it does not support QR Code output.
- The Classic version of the tool is provided for those users who are more used to the older version.
