Audio waveform image

Render local audio as an amplitude envelope with per-pixel extrema and time ticks, downloadable as SVG and PNG.

Your input

Each output-pixel bucket preserves the minimum and maximum across every channel; channels are not averaged first.

Outputs are cleared when the input changes.

Result

Enter your data or use the example, then run the tool.

Worked example

The generated sample has a short pulse around 0.5 seconds. Its peak remains visible even when many audio frames share one output-pixel bucket. Duration ticks use decoded seconds.

Method

Decode to PCM and group frames by output x pixel. Keep min/max across every channel in each bucket, draw a vertical envelope, zero line and start/middle/end seconds. Reserve 24 pixels for the time axis. Export equivalent local Canvas PNG and escaped SVG with a localized title.

Limits

One file up to 50 MiB; decoded mono/stereo up to five minutes and 28.8 million samples across channels. Only browser-decodable formats. Decoding may resample; output PCM16 WAV is quantized, not a lossless copy of the compressed stream. Native decode cannot be forcibly interrupted; cancellation ends the wait and cleans resources when possible. Image 64–4096 by 64–2048 pixels. Samples beyond -1 to 1 are clipped only in the displayed range and reported. Not a spectrum, beat detector, speech recognizer or recoverable audio encoding.
