Free Stripe Generator - Free graphics for your website

Stripe Generator is a great tool for web developers who want to create images for their websites on the fly. Stripe Generator is a free web-based program that you can use to create custom stripe patterns for use in backgrounds for web design.

Diagonal stripe images are the toughest to make using the traditional image making tools and this is where the tool comes in handy. All you need to do is choose the color, the shading, the size of the stripes, the space between the stripes, their orientation, and then copy and paste the line of Ajax code into the place you want to see your design. Once you sign up you can browse stripes created by other members of the website and also store stripes you created for later use.

A great tool and worth a try!
