Offset
Shifts the image horizontally or vertically. With wrapping, pixels that go off one edge reappear on the opposite side.
Offset shifts the image horizontally and/or vertically. With Wrap enabled, pixels that move past one edge wrap around to the opposite side. Without wrapping, shifted areas are filled with transparent pixels.
A common use for Offset with wrapping is creating seamless textures: offset by 50% to bring the tile seams to the center of the image, then use a Paint node with Clone Stamp to paint over the seams. Use Tile Preview (T) in the Preview panel to check the result; it shows the image tiled in a grid without modifying the output.

Usage Tips
Section titled “Usage Tips”- Offset by 50% to bring tile seams to the center, then paint over them with Clone Stamp to create a seamless texture.
- Use Tile Preview (T) in the Preview panel to check seamlessness. It shows the image tiled without modifying the output.
- Disable Wrap to slide an image within its canvas, which is useful for compositing alignment.
- On an already-seamless image, Offset changes where the repeat point falls without breaking the tiling.
