SVG Wave Generator
Generate smooth, layered SVG waves for your website dividers and backgrounds.
About the SVG Wave Generator
The SVG Wave Generator is an essential tool for modern web designers. Adding organic, wavy shapes as dividers between sections of a webpage breaks up the monotony of rigid, boxy layouts. It creates a more fluid, engaging user experience and adds visual depth without increasing page load time.
Unlike static PNG or JPG images, the waves generated by this tool are pure SVG code. This means they are infinitely scalable, look sharp on any device (Retina/4K), and are incredibly lightweight (often less than 1KB). You can use them as section dividers, footers, or decorative headers.
Our generator allows you to create complex, multi-layered waves effortlessly. You can adjust the number of layers to create depth with opacity variations, change the wave height and frequency, and even flip the wave to use it at the top or bottom of a section. The unique randomization algorithm ensures that every wave you generate is unique to your project.
How to Use the Tool
- Click "Shuffle Wave" to randomly generate a new shape base.
- Use the "Layers" slider to add depth. More layers create a stacked, semi-transparent effect.
- Adjust "Height" to control how tall the wave is, and "Segments" to control how many peaks and valleys it has.
- Use the "Variance" slider to make the wave look more erratic or smooth.
- Pick a "Color" to match your website's theme. The generator automatically calculates transparency for lower layers.
- Toggle "Flip" to orient the wave for the top or bottom of a container.
- Copy the code or download the file to use in your CSS or HTML.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add this to my website?
You can copy the SVG code and paste it directly into your HTML file. Alternatively, download the SVG file and use it as a background image in CSS: background-image: url('wave.svg'); background-size: cover;.
Why use SVG instead of an image?
SVG is vector-based code. It scales perfectly to any screen size without getting pixelated, supports transparency natively, and is much smaller in file size than a high-resolution PNG or JPG, which improves your website's SEO and loading speed.
Can I animate these waves?
Yes! Because the output is standard SVG code, you can easily animate the path using CSS keyframes or JavaScript libraries like GSAP to create a moving water effect.
Is the generated code responsive?
Yes. The generated code uses a viewBox attribute and omits fixed width/height, allowing the wave to stretch and fill whatever container you place it in (width: 100%).
