The cleanest waveform video maker
online

Drop in audio. Pick a waveform style: scrolling, oscilloscope, mirrored, or static-with-playhead. Tweak color, thickness, glow. Export an MP4 with the audio baked in — perfect for Reels, podcasts, or band promos.

Every waveform style in one tool

Different platforms call for different waveform looks. Shimga has them all and lets you mix.

📈

Scrolling waveform

The wave moves through a window — what you see is the live last second of audio. Looks great for music drops.

🌊

Oscilloscope

Classic VU-meter style — a snapshot of the current waveform held briefly, then refreshed. Reads as analog and warm.

🪞

Mirrored waveform

Reflected top-and-bottom for a symmetric look — the default on most podcast audiograms.

▶️

Static waveform with playhead

The full track is drawn as a static shape; a moving line shows the current position. Great for clips where the whole track is visible.

💫

Glow, gradient, thickness

Every visual property is configurable per layer. Stack two waveforms (one thick + glowing, one thin + sharp) for depth.

📤

MP4 export, audio baked in

Frame-accurate export with audio synced. No watermark on the free tier. Works on Shorts/Reels/TikTok aspect ratios.

Pick a style, swap colors, change thickness, add a logo and title. Stack multiple waveforms for layered looks.

Export & share

Pick aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5). Hit Export. Upload the MP4 to YouTube, Reels, TikTok, or LinkedIn.

Waveform video FAQ

What's a waveform video?

A video where the audio file's waveform — the time-domain shape of the sound — is animated as the track plays. Different styles: scrolling waveform (the wave moves through a window), oscilloscope (a snapshot trace), static waveform with moving playhead.

Can I use a podcast or speech file?

Yes. Waveforms work just as well with voice as with music — the trace shows volume and pacing, which makes podcast clips feel kinetic on socials.

Does the waveform sync to the audio?

Yes, to the sample. The waveform reads directly from the playing audio, so what you see is exactly what's playing at that moment. There's no manual sync step.

Can I customize the waveform color and thickness?

Yes — color, gradient, line thickness, glow, amplitude scaling, and decay are all configurable per layer. Stack two waveforms for a layered look.

Can I include a song title and album art?

Yes. Add a text layer for the title, an image layer for the art. Both stay positioned while the waveform animates around them.

How is this different from the sound-wave art generator?

The sound-wave art generator creates a static, printable image of the whole track. The waveform video maker creates an animated MP4 — a video that plays. Use art for prints, video for socials.
