How does the sound wave art generator work?

Drop in an audio recording and your browser reads its waveform shape directly - no upload needed for this step. Pick a visual style, a color, and an optional line of text, and a preview renders in seconds. When you're happy with it, add it to a sound wave art product and check out.

What audio formats can I use?

MP3, WAV, and M4A files all work. If a file won't decode, try exporting it as an MP3 or WAV from whatever app you recorded or downloaded it with.

Is my audio uploaded to your servers?

No. The audio file itself never leaves your device - only the waveform shape data (a small set of numbers describing the recording's peaks and valleys) is sent to render the art. That shape data can't be played back as audio.

Can I add a text line to my sound wave art?

Yes. An optional line of text - a name, a date, a short message - renders under the waveform in the same preview.

What does the watermark on the preview mean?

The preview shown while you're customizing is watermarked so it can't be used outside of an order. The art actually printed on your product has no watermark.

What can I print my sound wave art on?

Your options are shown above, pulled live from our sound wave art collection - pick the one you'd like and choose its size or variant there.

Can I use a song I didn't record myself?

You're responsible for having the rights to any audio you use, the same way you're responsible for any photo or text you upload elsewhere on the site. See our Terms & Conditions for details.

What print quality do I get?

The worker that generates your sound wave art renders it at full print resolution once you generate a preview, so the file used for printing is the same clean render at production size - not an upscaled screen preview.

Sound Wave Art Generator

Turn a voice memo, a recorded message, or a favorite recording into a custom waveform art piece. Pick a style, a color, and an optional text line, then print it on a sound wave art product.

Your recording is decoded in your browser - only its waveform shape is sent to create the art, never the audio file itself.

I confirm that I own or have permission to use the uploaded or customized content and understand that I'm responsible for any copyright or trademark issues.

How it works

Three steps from recording to printed art.

Drop in your recording

Choose an MP3, WAV, or M4A file. It's decoded instantly in your browser, and only the waveform shape is used to render your art.

Pick a style and color

Choose from six waveform styles and several color presets, and add an optional text line - see a watermarked preview update as you go.

Choose a product and order

Pick a sound wave art product and size, add it to your cart, and the clean, full-resolution art prints on your order.

What is sound wave art?

Sound wave art (also written as soundwave art) turns the shape of a recording - a message, a voice memo, a heartbeat, a favorite recording - into a visual waveform. The louder and quieter moments of the recording become the peaks and valleys of the artwork, so the shape is unique to that specific recording.

This generator reads your audio file's waveform entirely in your browser. Only that waveform shape - not the audio itself - is sent to render the art, at full print resolution, so the piece you order is the same file used to generate your preview, just without the watermark.
