In digital graphics, making an image “tileable” (or “seamless”) means adjusting it so that when it is repeated or tiled, there are no visible seams or breaks between the edges of each instance of the image. Basically, a tileable image can be placed side-by-side, top-to-bottom, or both, and it will look continuous, without obvious borders or mismatched lines.
GIMP offers an easy way to do this, although I must say, it’s not a perfect way to do it. Depending on the image you want to make seamless, you may get better or worse results. So you might have to make some changes to your image to get a better result.
In this example, I found this old photo of a sponge that I took.
You simply go to Filters -> Map -> Tile Seamless. The pop-up will say that this action has no editable properties. So just click okay.
Result:
After that, you can go to Filters -> Map -> Tile, set the settings you want it’ll make a tiled version of your image!
Result:
There you go! Now you know how to make an image tileable in GIMP.
