How it Works

Speed up your Workflow

Designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing processes - automatically detecting the pattern, so you don't have to trace it manually.

Take a Picture

Take a picture of your cut paper pattern straight from above. Use a dark background and even lighting for best results. PatternScan Pro uses a checkerboard reference to scale and perspectively equalize the image for you.

Make Adjustments

With just a few clicks, you can adjust, add or delete control points and adjust the curves exactly as needed. The dynamic display of length and angle measurements helps you work and makes editing the pattern a breeze.

Export as SVG or DXF

With a single click, export your pattern as SVG or DXF format - ready for CAD software, design tools, or your digital pattern library.

What to do, with your digital Pattern

From collaboration to archiving a paper to digital interface can be very useful.

Vector Editing & Grading

Take your patterns straight into Adobe Illustrator for grading, or use any vector editing software for pattern modifications and design development.

CAD Software Integration

Seamlessly import into GRAFIS, CLO 3D, and other industry-standard platforms with perfect scaling and precision using DXF.

Digital Pattern Library

Build your own digital pattern archive. Organize by season, client, or style - track changes and never lose a version again.

Team Collaboration

Send precise digital patterns to remote team members or contractors. What was once physical becomes perfectly shareable - with exact measurements and scaling.

Precise and Reliable Results

PatternScan Pro uses advanced camera calibration to ensure your digitized patterns match real-world measurements with high precision.

Camera Calibration

Every camera sees the world differently. PatternScan Pro adapts to yours with a one-time calibration profile – ensuring consistent, professional-grade accuracy regardless of your hardware.

What is PatternScan Pro?

PatternScan Pro is a web application designed for fashion designers to quickly digitize paper patterns. By automatically detecting contours and applying scaling and perspective equalization, it transforms a photographed pattern into a perfectly editable SVG file, streamlining your design workflow.

How can I get started with PatternScan Pro?

Getting started is easy. Watch the video tutorial to learn how to digitize patterns with PatternScan Pro. Click "Try for Free" to register and start your 7-day free trial. You'll need to enter your payment information, but you won't be charged if you cancel within the trial period.

How to take the picture, what formats are supported?

Take the photo directly from above, use even lighting, and choose a dark background that fills the entire image. Always include an A4 reference sheet so the software can scale your image correctly.

Please upload the images as JPGs, if the images from your iPhone via AirDrop are HEIC/HEIF, click "Options" while sharing and select "Most Compatible".

Does PatternScan Pro support additional editing?

Absolutely. Beyond the initial automatic conversion, you can add, adjust, or delete control points and curves. On-screen measurements help you make detailed corrections, ensuring that every curve and angle is just right. It is designed to be the fastest and most enjoyable pattern digitizing tool available.

What are the technical requirements for using PatternScan Pro?

It is designed for desktop browsers on Mac or PC and works with Chromium-based browsers such as Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. It requires an Internet connection.

Can PatternScan Pro integrate with other design tools?

Because the final output is an SVG file, you can import your digitized patterns into a variety of design applications - not just Illustrator.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel within the first 7 days, you will receive a full refund.

How does PatternScan Pro protect my data (information and designs)?

When you upload a pattern to PatternScan Pro, it is processed on a secure server located in Germany. The uploaded files are temporarily stored to facilitate the digitization process and are automatically deleted after a maximum of 7 days. After 7 days, all associated data is permanently removed from our servers to protect your privacy. We are committed to complying with GDPR and ensuring that your information and designs are handled responsibly. In addition, we do not collect or store any personal information beyond what is necessary for account management and service delivery. Your personal information is deleted when you cancel your account.
