Seed: 42How Our SVG Wave Generator Works
Create responsive multi-layer wave section dividers in three simple steps.
Choose Layers & Orientation
Select 1 to 4 stacked wave layers and choose Bottom Wave for hero banners or Top Wave for footer transitions.
Tune Wave Height & Colors
Adjust peak height, wave frequency, canvas dimensions, and individual layer colors to match your page sections.
Export SVG or CSS Background
Download the `.svg` file, copy raw SVG markup, or copy a ready-to-paste CSS `background-image` rule.
Key features
Lightweight vector section transitions that stay razor-sharp on every screen.
Up to 4 Stacked Wave Layers
Layer multiple translucent or solid colors with customizable heights and frequencies for rich visual depth.
Responsive SVG & CSS Data-URI
Uses `preserveAspectRatio="none"` to stretch cleanly across mobile, tablet, and ultrawide viewports.
Browser-Local Processing
Your files are processed directly in your browser and are not uploaded to Pinatool's servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about designing responsive SVG wave dividers.
Are generated SVG waves fully responsive across different screen sizes?
Yes. The generated SVG uses a scalable viewBox with preserveAspectRatio="none", allowing it to stretch cleanly to 100% of any viewport width or container block without distortion or letterboxing.
What is the difference between wave amplitude and frequency?
Frequency determines the number of crests and troughs spanning across the horizontal canvas (how many wave cycles occur). Amplitude controls the vertical peak height of each curve (how dramatic the wave swell appears).
How do I use the exported CSS background in my stylesheets?
The "Copy CSS" button provides a production-ready CSS snippet featuring an encoded SVG data-URI. Apply it directly to your header, footer, or section divider class alongside background-size: 100% 100% and background-repeat: no-repeat.
Can I flip wave orientations for headers and footers?
Yes. Toggle between "Bottom Wave" (ideal for transitioning from a hero banner into light page content) and "Top Wave" (inverted orientation ideal for transitioning into a dark footer or call-to-action block).
Does this generator upload or store my artwork?
No. All wave shapes and SVG files are generated 100% locally in your browser memory. No data is ever transmitted across the network.
