border-image-repeat | CSS CSS Properties

Defines how the border image is filled along the edges. 'Stretch' pulls the image thin, while 'repeat' or 'round' tiles it. 'Round' is often best because it scales tiles slightly to avoid cutting them off.

Quick example

.tiled-border {
  border: 15px solid;
  border-image-source: url('dots.png');
  border-image-slice: 10;
  /* Tiles the dots smoothly without cutting any in half */
  border-image-repeat: round;
}
