You can add audio to your design in four ways:
WaveVisual generates a sound wave from your chosen source. The audio itself is only used to create the visualization and is not stored on our servers.
For Spotify links vs uploads, song search, and how your source affects exports (including video), see our audio sources help article.
WaveVisual allows you to export your designs in PNG, SVG, JPEG, and PDF formats, plus animated video (MP4, GIF, WebM, and MOV). If you are not sure which one to choose, here is a quick explanation:
More technical detail on each format is in our image export formats help article.
After an audio is uploaded, you will see a play button on the top left corner of your screen. Clicking this button will start the audio and the sound wave playing animation.
Images are exported in 300 DPI (dots per inch) to provide the maximum quality for printing. The exact resolution will depend on the canvas size you chose but in general they a width of 12000 pixels or 40 inches.
More on pixel limits, vectors (PDF/SVG), and print sizing: export resolution help article.
Our editor has a feature that allows you to generate and import QR codes into your artworks. When scanned, the QR codes lead back to WaveVisual and will present your designs. If you have uploaded an audio file, you can also listen to that audio on this page. This feature is placed under "QR Code" tab of our .
WaveVisual analyses the audio file you upload and create a waveform of bars with various heights that represents the loudness of the audio at any given moment. For example if your audio starts relatively silent and gets louder as it progresses, the sound wave WaveVisual will generate will be a series of bars that transition from shorter to longer.
Once completing you design. You can purchase it by going to the Download tab. After the payment, you will presented with download options. You will also receive an email with a link to your design so that you can come back and download it later.
The following audio file formats are supported by our editor:
WAV, MP3, M4A, AIF, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, OGG
Unfortunately, we do not have that feature yet.
Yes! Video export is available. You can export animated sound wave designs as MP4, GIF, WebM, or MOV. MP4, WebM, and MOV render at 1080p and 60fps; GIF uses a lower frame rate for smaller files. The waveform bars animate in sync with your audio. MOV supports a transparent background (alpha channel), which is useful if you want to layer the waveform over other video or graphics in an editor.
To export a video:
Important limitations: Video export only works with user-uploaded audio files (Spotify songs are not supported for video export due to licensing restrictions). Only the sound wave bars animate in the video — backgrounds, text, and other elements remain static. For more detail, see our video export help article.
Unlimited designs and digital exports while your subscription is active, within our fair-use limits (see the pricing page for details).
For how unlimited access compares to credit packs, what happens when you cancel, and credits that never expire, see our subscriptions and credits help article.
