SVG Wave Generator: Layered Section Dividers, Free
Drag a few sliders and watch a smooth, layered wave divider take shape between your sections. Stack layers, tune the amplitude, flip it top or bottom, drop in a gradient, and copy the SVG or export a PNG. Every wave is generated from a seed you can reproduce, entirely in your browser.
What is the svg wave generator?
The SVG Wave Generator builds layered wave dividers for section transitions, with sliders for height, amplitude, wave count and layers. Set per-layer colors or a gradient, flip top or bottom, and copy the SVG or download SVG/PNG. Free, seed-reproducible, and generated entirely in your browser.
The GigAI SVG Wave Generator builds the curved SVG shape dividers that sit between two colored sections on almost every modern landing page, the soft crests that turn a hard rectangular seam into a designed transition. Instead of hand-writing bezier paths or pulling a one-off snippet from a paste bin, you drive it with sliders: height sets how tall the divider band is, amplitude controls how deep the crests dip, wave count sets how many crests span the width, and the layer stepper stacks two or three offset waves in tints of your color for the layered, parallax look. A flip toggle mirrors the whole divider so it reads correctly whether it caps the top or the bottom of a section, and a seeded re-roll advances a reproducible seed for a fresh silhouette on demand. Because every path is deterministic, the divider you approve in review regenerates byte-for-byte later, copy the markup, download a full-bleed SVG that stretches edge-to-edge with preserveAspectRatio, or rasterise a PNG for tools that won't take vectors. Fill each layer with a flat color or a two-stop gradient, preview it on a checkerboard, light or dark surface, and undo/redo back to an earlier shape. Nothing is uploaded, the geometry, the gradient and the PNG rasteriser all run locally, so it works offline and never sees your brand colors or where the divider is headed.

How to use the svg wave generator
- 1
Shape it with the sliders
Set height for how tall the divider band is, amplitude for how deep the crests dip, and wave count for how many crests span the width. The preview redraws live.
- 2
Stack layers and flip it
Add one or two extra layers for the parallax look. They auto-tint from your color. Toggle flip so the divider reads correctly at the top or bottom of a section.
- 3
Re-roll and pick a fill
Hit Re-roll for a fresh crest pattern, then choose a solid color or a two-stop gradient. Preview it on checkerboard, light or dark to check it against your real background.
- 4
Copy or download
Copy the SVG markup, download a full-bleed .svg, or export a .png. Everything is generated locally in your browser.
What SVG Wave Generator includes
Layered, stackable waves
Stack up to four offset wave paths in tints of your color for the parallax, layered look, or keep it to a single clean crest. The layer stepper redraws the whole divider instantly.
Height, amplitude & wave count
Height sets the band depth, amplitude controls how far the crests dip, and wave count (1–12) sets how many crests span the full width, every change re-draws the smooth quadratic path live.
Flip for top or bottom
One toggle mirrors the divider vertically so it reads correctly whether it caps the bottom of a hero or the top of the next section. No manual transform maths.
Seeded re-roll you can reproduce
Re-roll walks a deterministic seed for a fresh crest pattern on demand. The same seed plus settings always regenerate the identical divider, so a shape you like is never a one-time accident.
Solid tints or a gradient
Fill with a flat brand color (layers auto-tinted) or a diagonal two-stop gradient using native color pickers. Gradients are emitted as real SVG <linearGradient> defs, not flattened rasters.
Full-bleed, scalable SVG
Output is a clean, edge-to-edge SVG with a proper viewBox and preserveAspectRatio, ready to drop above or below any section, paste into React, or use as a CSS background.
Why use our svg wave generator
Ship the section-divider look in seconds
Skip the pen tool and the paste-bin snippets. Get the smooth curved divider that separates colored sections on modern landing pages with a few sliders: then paste the SVG straight into your build.
Reproducible, not throwaway
Every divider comes from a seed, so the shape you approved in design review regenerates byte-for-byte later. Share the settings and a teammate gets the exact same wave.
One divider, every format
Copy the markup for code, download a full-bleed SVG that stretches to any width, or export a PNG for tools that can't read vectors, all from the same wave.
Private and offline
The geometry, the gradient and the PNG rasteriser all run on your device. Your brand colors and where the divider is going never leave the tab.
Built for the way you work
From quick one-off fixes to daily workflows, see how people put this tool to use.
- Frontend developer
Section transitions in the layout
Drop a full-bleed wave divider between a colored hero and the next white section so the seam reads as designed. Copy the SVG, set it to width:100%, and it stretches edge-to-edge at any breakpoint.
- Product designer
On-brand divider system
Tune amplitude and layer tints to the brand palette, approve the shape in review, and hand off reproducible SVGs the engineers can drop in unchanged. No PNG round-trips or redlines.
- Content & social
Header and banner accents
Export a PNG wave to cap an email header, a slide or a story where a vector isn't accepted, without opening a design app or paying for stock dividers.
- Indie hacker
Make a bare landing page feel built
Add a couple of layered waves between sections to give a plain single-column page rhythm and polish: free, reproducible, and yours to tweak until it's right.

Common problems, solved
Hit a snag? Here are quick fixes for the issues people run into most.
The wave doesn't stretch across my full section width.
The SVG is authored full-bleed with preserveAspectRatio set to stretch on the x-axis. Make sure the element has width:100% and display:block (SVGs are inline by default, which can leave a sliver of whitespace under them).
The divider is upside down relative to my section.
Use the Flip toggle to mirror it vertically. A divider that caps the bottom of a section needs the opposite orientation to one at the top: flip until the filled side sits against the section it belongs to.
My gradient shows as a flat color in another app.
Some tools flatten or drop SVG <linearGradient> defs on paste. If the destination can't render gradients, export the PNG instead, it bakes the gradient into pixels, or keep the fill solid for maximum compatibility.
I re-rolled past a wave I liked and can't get it back.
Use Undo (Ctrl/Cmd+Z) to step back through every shape this session, then Redo to move forward. Once you land on the one you want, copy or download it immediately to lock it in.
Get the most out of it
For a subtle, professional divider keep amplitude around 30–50% and wave count to 2–4: big amplitudes read as decorative rather than structural.
Stack two or three layers in tints of one color for the layered/parallax look. A single layer is cleaner for a crisp brand seam.
Prefer the SVG over the PNG wherever the target accepts it. It's smaller, stays razor-sharp at any width, and re-colorable in code.
Set width:100% and display:block on the SVG so it spans the full section with no whitespace gap beneath it.
Found the perfect divider? Note the settings, the same seed and sliders always regenerate it exactly.
