tileable

Can cover surfaces

Tileable describes something that can be arranged in a repeating pattern without gaps or visible seams.

In digital graphics and game design, a tileable texture or image connects seamlessly when placed edge to edge: The background uses a tileable wood grain pattern.

The term extends to any material or design suitable for tiling.
