What the picture shows
The whole recording from left to right, with height showing loudness. Quiet passages are thin, loud ones are thick. The height is drawn on a curved scale so quiet speech still shows as a shape.

Getting a good result
Uses
Episode artwork, a soundwave print of a voice message or a first dance song, a visual for a podcast page, a quick check that a recording has no long silences or clipped sections.
Transparent PNG
With a transparent background the image holds only the wave, so it sits over a photo or a brand color in any design tool.
00:40Questions
Audio waveform image: common questions
Can I get it as a video that moves?
Yes, with the music visualizer.
Does a long file make a wider image?
No. The image is the size you choose; a longer recording is drawn more densely.
Can I print it?
The Full HD size prints well up to about postcard size. For a large print, scale it in a design tool.
