Sound wave art
from a file or a Spotify song
WaveVisual is a SoundViz alternative for sound wave art prints and downloads. WaveVisual accepts an uploaded file and a Spotify song. Video export needs an uploaded file, not a Spotify song.

Why people look for a SoundViz alternative
Your song is on Spotify
SoundViz starts from a file that you upload or a recording. WaveVisual can draw the sound wave of a Spotify song or a song you search for, so you do not need the audio file for a print.
You want words and a photo on the design
In WaveVisual you add names, a date, or lyrics, a background image, and a QR code that opens the recording, all on the same design as the wave.
You need a vector file
SoundViz offers a digital file. WaveVisual gives you PNG, JPG, PDF, or SVG at 300 DPI, so a print shop or a laser cutter gets the format it asks for.
You also want the wave to move
Upload the audio file or record it, and export the same design as an MP4 or GIF for a message or social media.
