Sound wave art
Sound wave art you can actually hear
Sound wave art turns a recording into a picture: the shape of an I love you, a baby's first word, a laugh, the last voicemail you saved. Most soundwave prints are only the picture. This one keeps the recording with it. The QR code is part of the design, and scanning it plays the exact sound the wave was drawn from. Try the generator below with the sample voice or with your own file.

Drawing your preview…
Preview is watermarked. The full files (PNG, SVG and print PDF) come without it.
Make it yours- 1. Record or uploadRecord in the browser or upload an MP3 or M4A from your phone. Make a free voice code so the recording has a page to play from.
- 2. Pick a styleFour styles: the wave melting into the code, a bold poster, a sunburst around the code, or a glowing wave on black. Add a title and two lines.
- 3. Print itDownload PNG, SVG or a print PDF. The SVG stays sharp at any size, so it works for a large canvas as well as a card.
Why the code matters
A soundwave on its own is a nice shape, but nobody can tell what it says. With the code in the design the print explains itself: a guest scans it and hears the vows, the heartbeat or the message. The wave is drawn from your real recording, so the picture and the sound belong together.
Ideas people use it for
Wedding vows or the first dance song intro you recorded yourself. A baby's heartbeat from a scan, a first word, a child saying happy birthday. A voicemail from a parent or grandparent. A voice message for an anniversary. Record your own audio: please do not upload commercial music you do not have the rights to.
Is this a free sound wave art generator?
The generator on this page is free to use and needs no account: you see your wave in every style with a watermark. Downloading the clean files is a one-time payment. Your audio file stays in your browser on this page, nothing is uploaded until you decide to make a code.
Print sizes
The portrait styles are 4:5, which fits 20 x 25 cm, 40 x 50 cm and similar frames. The square style fits record-sleeve frames. Keep the code at least 2 cm wide on the finished print and scan it once before you frame it.
Questions
Does the wave come from my real recording?
Yes. The bars and curves are drawn from the loudness of your audio from start to end, so two different recordings never look the same.
Is my audio uploaded when I try it here?
No. On this page the file you choose stays in your browser. When you later make a voice code, the recording is stored so the code has something to play.
Which files do I get?
A 2048 pixel PNG, an SVG and a print PDF, all without the watermark. You can change the style and the words any time and download again for the same code.
How much does it cost?
Trying the designs is free and the preview is watermarked. The design is $9.99 once, on top of a permanent code. If your code is not permanent yet, both together are $14.98. There is no subscription.
Can I use a song?
Use audio you made or have the rights to. A recording of your own voice, your child or your wedding is fine. We remove content that is reported as infringing.
Do you print or ship it?
No. You get the files and print them wherever you like: at home, at a print shop or with an online framing service. That also means there is no shipping wait.
