SVG Wave Generator
Generate layered SVG wave shapes with adjustable curve intensity, layer count, and solid or gradient fills, then copy the markup or download an .svg file.
SVG Wave Generator — Set the curve intensity, choose how many wave layers to stack, and pick a solid or top-to-bottom gradient fill with two colors. A live preview redraws as you tweak the controls, the Regenerate button reshuffles the wave shape from a seed, and the full SVG markup is ready to copy or download as an .svg file. Everything is generated right in your browser; no settings or images are ever sent to a server.
What is SVG Wave Generator?
The SVG Wave Generator is a free in-browser tool for web designers and front-end developers who want smooth, organic wave dividers and hero backgrounds without drawing paths by hand. You set the curve intensity, stack from one up to eight layers, flip the wave so it crests downward or upward, and fill it with a single color blend or a vertical gradient between two HEX colors. Each wave is built from a seed-based pseudo-random generator, so pressing Regenerate gives you a fresh shape while keeping the same settings, and the output is exact, scalable SVG you can paste into any HTML page or design file. Use it for section dividers, footers, banners, and decorative backgrounds.
How to use SVG Wave Generator
- Set the curve intensity from 0 to 100 to control how tall and dramatic the wave crests are.
- Choose the number of layers (1-8); more layers stack translucent waves for depth.
- Use Flip to make the wave crest downward or upward.
- Open Settings to switch between a solid fill or a vertical gradient and pick the start and end colors.
- Press Regenerate to reshuffle the wave shape until you like it.
- Copy the SVG markup or click Download to save a wave.svg file.
Examples
Gradient section divider
Set intensity around 50, keep 3 layers, choose a gradient fill from blue to purple, and download wave.svg to drop a smooth divider between two page sections.
Bold single-color hero wave
Crank intensity up, set layers to 1, switch to a solid fill, and flip the wave upward for a large dramatic crest behind a hero headline.
Layered footer backdrop
Use 5-6 layers with a low-to-medium intensity to build a soft, stacked translucent wave that works well as a footer background.
Frequently asked questions
- What does curve intensity change?
- Intensity (0-100) controls how far each wave crest rises and falls. Low values give gentle ripples; high values give tall, dramatic peaks. The preview and SVG update instantly as you change it.
- Why does pressing Regenerate change the shape?
- Each wave is drawn from a seed-based pseudo-random generator. Regenerate bumps the seed so you get a new arrangement of crests while keeping your intensity, layers, colors, and fill exactly as set.
- What is the difference between solid and gradient fill?
- Solid blends each stacked layer between your two colors, while gradient applies a single vertical gradient from the first color at the top to the second at the bottom across all layers. Open Settings to switch and to pick both colors.
- How do I use the downloaded SVG?
- The output is standard, scalable SVG markup. Copy it directly into your HTML, or download wave.svg and import it into your design tool or reference it as an image. Because it is vector, it stays crisp at any size.
- Is anything uploaded to a server?
- No. The wave is generated entirely in your browser with local math, and the .svg download is built from an in-memory blob. No settings, colors, or images ever leave your device, so it works offline and keeps your work private.
