About the Wave Pattern Generator

Perfect for worldbuilders and fantasy cartographers, this free online tool generates beautiful, tileable wave patterns for the oceans and seas on your maps. The SVG output is infinitely scalable and uses a subtle turbulence filter to create a rough, hand-drawn, and organic feel, avoiding the clean lines of digital perfection.

How It Works

This tool is purely generative—no uploads needed. Simply adjust the sliders to control the look and feel of your ocean texture:

  • Wave Amplitude & Frequency: Control the height and density of the waves.
  • Line Width: Adjust the thickness of the lines for a bolder or finer look.
  • Gap Chance: Introduce random breaks in the lines to simulate the ebb and flow of water and add to the hand-drawn style.

Because the output is a seamless, repeatable tile, you can use it to fill an area of any size on your map. When you're happy with the pattern, download it as a clean SVG to use in a vector editor, or as a PNG with a white background for easy use in any image editor.
