Using the SVG Shape Generator

This tool helps you create scalable vector graphics (SVG) for use as organic-looking shapes or as dividers between sections of your webpage. SVGs are lightweight and look crisp on any screen size.

1. Select a Shape Type. Choose a preset like Waves, Curves, or Blob as your starting point. The available controls will update based on your choice.
2. Customize the Shape. Use the sliders and checkboxes to adjust the properties of your chosen shape, such as complexity, height, or smoothness.
3. Set General Options. Pick a color for your shape. For dividers, choose whether it should appear at the top or bottom of a section and whether it should be flipped horizontally.
4. Copy the SVG Code. The generated SVG code is ready to be copied and pasted directly into your HTML.

What are SVG Dividers?

SVG section dividers are a modern web design technique used to create visually interesting transitions between different parts of a webpage. Instead of a simple straight line, you can use a wave, a curve, or another custom shape to separate your content, adding a dynamic and professional feel to your layout.

Why Use SVG?

• Scalable. Vector graphics are based on mathematical formulas, not pixels. This means they can be scaled to any size without losing quality, looking perfectly sharp on all devices.
• Lightweight. The code for a simple shape is often much smaller in file size than a comparable PNG or JPG image, leading to faster page load times.
• Customizable. You can easily change properties like the fill color directly in the code or with CSS, making it easy to match your site's branding.

How to Implement the SVG Code

The most straightforward method is to paste the generated SVG directly into your HTML file where you want the divider to appear. You would typically place it just after a section, then use CSS to pull it up so it overlaps the section's bottom edge.

<section class="hero">
  <h1>Welcome to My Site</h1>
</section>

<!-- Paste the generated SVG here -->
<div class="divider">
  <svg ... > ... </svg>
</div>

You would then apply some CSS to the container to position it correctly. For a bottom divider, negative margin is a common technique.

.divider {
  margin-top: -80px; /* Pulls the SVG up */
  position: relative; /* For stacking context */
  z-index: 1;
}
.divider svg {
  display: block; /* Removes extra space below the svg */
}

Accessibility

Since these shapes are almost always decorative, they should be hidden from screen readers. This generator automatically includes the aria-hidden="true" attribute in the code to ensure that users with assistive technologies get a clean reading experience without being interrupted by non-essential graphical elements.
