svg wave generator

How to use the svg wave generator

  1. Adjust amplitude (wave height) and frequency (wave count) with sliders.
  2. Pick the direction: top edge, bottom edge, or both.
  3. Layer multiple waves with different colors and opacities for depth.
  4. Export as SVG — responsive by default with preserveAspectRatio="none".

When to use it

Use SVG waves for section dividers, landing page transitions, and decorative hero bottoms. They replace rigid straight edges with organic flow. Avoid on data-dense pages — extra visual weight distracts from tables and charts. Alternative: GetWaves.io is the classic in this niche; this tool adds multi-layer export and Tailwind color alignment.

Frequently asked questions

Are SVG waves responsive?
Yes — the generated SVG uses preserveAspectRatio="none" so it stretches to any container width without distortion in the interesting axis.
Can I flip the wave direction?
Yes — apply transform: rotate(180deg) or scaleY(-1) to flip vertically. The tool includes a direction toggle.
How do I animate a wave?
Animate the SVG path's d attribute between two states with same-point-count. GSAP's MorphSVG plugin does this cleanly; SMIL also works.
