    The waveform is the face of an audio recording: podcast episodes, audiograms for social media and technical docs use it to show at a glance where music, speech and pauses sit. This tool draws a file peak levels as a bar waveform and exports it as PNG.

    Three styles are available: teal on white (the gottrix brand look), a dark variant for dark-mode layouts and a transparent version that sits on any design of your own. Bars are normalized to the loudest peak - even quiet recordings produce a readable image.

    The analysis streams over the decoded data memory-efficiently: only small-window peak values are kept, never the full audio. As always with gottrix, the file never leaves your device.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop the audio file.
    2. Choose the image size and style.
    3. Generate and download the PNG.

    Limitations: Honest per-device length cap (desktop about 20 minutes, tablet 15, phone 10; more with plenty of memory) - the whole file is decoded and analyzed once. Bar style with a fixed brand colour per style (no free colour picker, no curve/mirror style). Compressed inputs need the browser WebCodecs decoder.

    FAQ

    Are files uploaded?

    No, analysis and image generation run entirely locally.

    What is the transparent PNG for?

    For layering on your own designs: podcast covers, video thumbnails, slides - the background shows through, only the bars are visible.

    Why does a quiet recording still look "full"?

    Bars are normalized to the file loudest peak - the shape stays readable even for quiet material. The image deliberately does not show absolute levels.

    Can I pick any resolution?

    Three preset sizes from 800 x 200 to 1920 x 480 cover social media, web and print preview - deliberately kept simple.
