Seamlessly loopable is a term generally used for recordings or images that can be combined an infinite number of times without a noticeable joining seam.[1] When used in music, animation, and video it generally refers to media that can be laid on a timeline, multiple times, back-to-back with no visible jump or jump cut as it cycles between the clips.[2]
The term when used in still images means that an image when laid left to right or top to bottom will join with itself with little or no visible seam.
