Why We Built This

Every designer and developer needs background graphics. Whether you're building a landing page hero, creating social media posts, or designing app interfaces, you need visuals that stand out.

The problem? Most background generators either:

  • Require paid subscriptions
  • Add watermarks to free exports
  • Have limited customization
  • Only export in one format

Our SVG Background Generator solves all of these. It's completely free, exports in both SVG and PNG, and gives you full control over every parameter.

6 Generator Types

Layered Waves

Smooth, flowing wave layers perfect for hero sections and page dividers. Control the number of layers, complexity, direction (top, bottom, left, right), and colors.

Best for: Landing page heroes, section dividers, footer backgrounds

Blob

Organic, fluid shapes with gradient fills. Adjust complexity, contrast, and size to create everything from subtle accents to bold centerpieces.

Best for: Modern UI backgrounds, feature highlights, organic aesthetics

Gradient Blur

The trendy blurry gradient look that's everywhere in modern design. Multiple color spots with adjustable blur create that glassmorphism-friendly backdrop.

Best for: Glassmorphism designs, app backgrounds, modern web aesthetics

Low Poly

Geometric triangulated mesh patterns. Control cell size and variance to create everything from subtle textures to bold geometric art.

Best for: Tech brands, gaming graphics, geometric design systems

Circle Scatter

Scattered circles with customizable count, size range, and opacity. Simple but effective for creating depth and visual interest.

Best for: Playful designs, particle effects, abstract backgrounds

Layered Peaks

Mountain-like peak layers that create depth and drama. Perfect for outdoor brands or adding visual weight to a design.

Best for: Nature themes, dramatic headers, layered depth effects

Full Customization

Each generator includes controls specific to its style:

  • Colors — Full hex color picker for background and pattern colors
  • Layers — Control how many layers appear in wave and peak generators
  • Complexity — Adjust the detail level of waves, blobs, and peaks
  • Size & Scale — Control element sizes in scatter and blob generators
  • Direction — Position waves and peaks from any edge
  • Opacity — Fine-tune transparency for scatter patterns

Multiple Canvas Sizes

Export in the exact dimensions you need:

  • 16:9 (1920x1080) — Standard widescreen, YouTube thumbnails
  • OG Image (1200x630) — Social media previews
  • 1:1 (1080x1080) — Instagram posts, app icons
  • 9:16 (1080x1920) — Stories, mobile wallpapers
  • 3:2 (1200x800) — Blog headers, presentations
  • 4:3 (800x600) — Classic web dimensions

SVG or PNG Export

Download your creation in either format:

SVG — Scalable vector that stays crisp at any size. Perfect for web, where you want fast loading and infinite scalability.

PNG — Raster format for maximum compatibility. Great for social media, email, and anywhere SVG isn't supported.

100% Client-Side

Your designs never leave your browser. All generation happens locally using JavaScript. We don't store, track, or see your creations. Refresh the page and it's gone — unless you download it first.

How to Use It

  1. Pick a generator from the left sidebar
  2. Adjust controls in the right panel (colors, layers, complexity)
  3. Click randomize (the refresh button) to generate variations
  4. Download as SVG or PNG

That's it. No account, no credits, no limits.

Pairs Perfectly with AI Generation

Use these backgrounds as starting points, then add AI-generated SVG elements on top:

  1. Generate a gradient blur background
  2. Use SVG Genie's AI to create a logo or illustration
  3. Combine them in your design tool

The procedural backgrounds handle the atmosphere while AI handles the custom graphics.
