waveform icon

Waveform: audio waveform, sound wave, audio wave, soundwave. Drawn on the 16 px grid. Free SVG, PNG and code, MIT licensed.

Animated waveform-scroll · line-round

The recording scrolls left past the frame by two whole lengths, picking up speed and slowing to a stop, so a new copy of the waveform comes to rest where the old one was.

Download SVG

Native SVG animation, with no CSS or script. It loops by itself. Inline it to take the text color: in an <img> it draws black. To play it once on hover or click, run 0.3 s to 2.35 s. Examples and helper.

Each icon is drawn on the 16 px grid, and most also on the 20 and 24 px grids (at 24 in three weights: light 1 px, regular 1.5 px, bold 2 px). Show the drawing made for your size, or an exact multiple of it, on whole pixels: 16 for 16 and 32 px, 20 for 20 and 40, 24 for 24 and 48. A size in between or a fractional position blurs it. The code on each icon page is the 16 px drawing, an SVG with fill="currentColor"; the icon page's downloads follow its Grid switch, and npm has the 20 and 24 px drawings too. The snippets are decorative (aria-hidden). For an icon that carries meaning on its own, such as an icon-only button, label the button, or give the SVG role="img" and an aria-label. More in how to use.

With npm: import { WaveformIcon } from '@gentleface/react'; (setup).
