Come on man. You guys earnt like $13B last year and still can't pay someone to add a "tile image" function to your web design app? Let's go, this request is 5 years old already.

How could it be that this basic function is not there? In Illustrator this is a very old feature.

And first I thought Adobe XD is great...

Just realised background patterns are missing... The only way to achieve this is by using the repeat grid, thus making thousand of instances of a single image, that render the XD the file automatically a thousand times heavier. :/

2021 and it's still not possible to use patterns as background... amazin.

The more I use XD the more I want to go back to Sketch. There are too many missed features.

there is a need to export patterns from ai to xd.

I use Photoshop to create patterns and import them into a masked container in order to avoid the pitfalls of the Repeat Grid workaround. It's a bit disruptive to my workflow, but it works in a pinch.

We need it!!!!

upvoting pattern repeat!!

Whew chile, yes...

It's odd that I can't use patterns from the library at all.

Upvoting for the pattern

Upvoting for pattern repeat fill as well.

Upvoting for background pattern fill, this would make the selection of fill methods complete - the repeat grid workaround is acceptable but not very convenient.

When I use the Repeat Grid "workaround", every instance of the bitmap image gets exported when I "Share for Development". I just generated a share link that had 300+ copies of the same background image tile.

How undercooked Adobe XD is continues to amaze me.
Maybe in 3 MORE years we can get a bitmap pattern fill implementation! Oh joy!

As solid and gradient fill are now implemented, I upvote the background fill.
Please make this, using the same attributes as css : repeat-x, repeat-y, center, ...

I upvote a request for background fill pattern!

@Cam, after using XD to create intricate patterns like that, I think it's best to Export to a PNG and use the image instead.

I've just realised that my comment has included the closing parenthesis in the link and won't work until you remove that. Sorry!
