## What it is
A collection of subtle background tile patterns from Subtle Patterns, including a Photoshop .pat file. It serves as a free design asset library licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.

## Use cases
- find subtle background textures for a website
- download photoshop pattern files for design work
- get tiled background images for css
- browse free seamless patterns for ui design
- base64-encode background patterns for embedding

## When to choose
- you need lightweight, subtle repeating background textures for web or app design
- you want a curated pattern library with a Photoshop .pat file included

## When to avoid
- you need high-resolution or photographic backgrounds
- you require a permissively licensed asset (it is CC BY-SA 3.0, requiring attribution and share-alike)
- you need programmatically generated patterns rather than a fixed collection

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, image-processing
- domain: web-design, frontend, graphics
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: background-patterns, textures, design-assets, photoshop-patterns, css-backgrounds, web
