Waveform Image Generator

Turn an audio file into a waveform image as PNG or SVG.

A Picture Of Your Sound

Drop in a song, a voice note or a podcast episode and turn it into a waveform image for cover art, a social post, a video thumbnail or a sound-wave print of a meaningful recording. Choose mirrored bars, bars, a line or a filled wave, set the bar width and spacing, and colour it with a gradient on any background — or a transparent one.

Each bar shows the loudness (RMS) of its slice of the track, which is closer to what you hear than raw peaks. Download a PNG at the size you picked — from a podcast strip to 1920 × 1080 — or an SVG vector that stays sharp at any print size and can be edited in any design app.

Frequently asked questions

Which audio formats work?

Anything your browser can play: MP3, WAV, AAC/M4A, OGG and FLAC in most browsers, plus the audio track of MP4 and WebM videos.

Can I print it as a poster?

Yes — download the SVG. It is a vector, so it prints sharp at any size, and each bar is a separate shape you can recolour or resize.

What does “normalise” do?

It scales the loudest part of the track to the full height, so a quiet recording still fills the image. Turn it off to compare loudness between files.

Is this an audiogram video?

It is a still image. For an animated clip, place the waveform over a video in an editor; for audio editing itself, try the Audio Cutter. To show only part of a track, trim it to that section first, and the waveform will fill the whole image.

Is my audio uploaded?

No. Decoding and drawing happen entirely in your browser.
