A design template is a finished look you can apply to your current artwork: wave style, colors, background, text, and layout. Your audio stays on the canvas.

Where to find them#

Open the Templates tab in the editor. Public layouts are listed under All Templates. You can also browse the catalog at wavevisual.com/templates and open one in the editor.

How to apply a template#

  1. Add your audio (upload, record, search a song, or paste a Spotify link)—or apply a template first and add audio after. Either order works.
  2. Open the Templates tab.
  3. Click a thumbnail under All Templates.
  4. You should see a brief Template applied confirmation.

What changes — and what does not#

Applying a template updates the visual design:

  • Wave style, colors, thickness, spacing, and position
  • Background (including wallpapers and images from the template)
  • Text on the canvas
  • Canvas shape (portrait, landscape, or square) when the template uses a different ratio

It does not replace your audio. The sound wave still represents the track or recording you chose.

You can keep editing after you apply a template—change colors, move the wave, swap the wallpaper, or pick a different template.

Wallpapers vs templates#

Wallpapers in the Background tab only change the background image. Templates in the Templates tab change the whole design.
