Fineline Studios

Terms of Use & Pattern Licence

Last updated: July 26, 2026

These terms cover the use of Fineline Studios ("the App") and, in particular, what you may do with the patterns you create in it. On the App Store (English), the app is listed as Fineline Studios.

1. What you may do with your patterns

You own what you make. The patterns you generate are yours, and the licence below is granted royalty-free for as long as you keep using them.

	Free	Fineline Pro
Personal use	Yes — including posting on social media and personal printing	Yes
Commercial use	Not covered	Yes — products for sale, client work, packaging, textiles, merchandise, printed goods
Credit / attribution	Not required	Not required
Watermarks	None — exports are clean	None

Commercial use means any use intended to generate revenue, whether directly (selling the pattern or a product bearing it) or as part of paid work for a client. If you need commercial rights, Fineline Pro grants them.

2. What you may not do

Reselling or redistributing Fineline Studioss' built-in palette library or motif set as an asset pack, template pack, or dataset — that is, selling the App's own material rather than the patterns you designed with it.
Claiming that your patterns were produced by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Fineline Studios or its developer.
Attempting to reverse-engineer, decompile, or circumvent the in-app purchase.

3. Fineline Pro

Fineline Pro is a one-time purchase, tied to your Apple ID, with no auto-renewal. It unlocks SVG and PDF vector export, high-resolution export, large export sizes, unlimited library saves, the full palette library, all colorways, and the commercial licence described above. Designing itself — all 17 symmetry groups, every motif, hand drawing and Shuffle — is free and unlimited.

Purchases are handled by Apple. Refund requests are handled by Apple under the App Store terms.

4. Your data

Patterns are stored on your device. See the Privacy Policy for details, including the anonymous usage counts the App sends.

5. No warranty

The App is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. In particular, while Fineline Studios is built to produce seamlessly tiling, print-ready output, you are responsible for verifying dimensions, colour and resolution with your printer or manufacturer before production.

6. Changes

If these terms change, the updated version will be published on this page with a new "Last updated" date. A change to the licence terms never retroactively removes rights already granted for patterns you created under an earlier version.
