CSS Divider Shape Generator

A full section-divider toolkit, not just a wave: waves, angled cuts, curves, zigzags and layered waves, each a real computed SVG path. Preview it between two sections, then copy the SVG and CSS.

SVG + CSS

Six real shapes, computed live

Every shape here is generated from math, not swapped from a fixed image set, so height, opacity and flip controls genuinely change the geometry.

Six divider types

Wave, angled single, angled double, curve, zigzag and layered waves cover most section-break styles.

Genuinely parametric

Amplitude and flip controls recompute the path points, they do not just crop or stretch a static shape.

How to add a section divider

  1. Pick a shapeChoose from six divider styles depending on the tone of your design.
  2. Tune itSet the fill color, height and opacity, then flip vertically or horizontally if needed.
  3. Copy and positionCopy the SVG and CSS, then paste it at the edge of a relatively positioned section as shown in the snippet.

About SVG section dividers

A section divider breaks up the hard, straight line between two page sections with a shape instead, which is a small detail that makes a layout feel designed rather than templated. The usual trap is a divider library that only offers one wave shape, forcing every project to look the same. This generator instead computes six distinct shapes directly from parametric formulas — a smooth wave and a gentler curve use Catmull-Rom interpolation through sampled points for a natural bezier flow, while zigzag and the angled shapes connect points with straight lines for a sharper, more graphic feel. Because every shape is plain inline SVG with preserveAspectRatio="none", it stretches cleanly to fill any container width without needing separate mobile and desktop assets.

Wave vs. curve

Wave uses a full sine cycle for a flowing S shape, while curve uses a single half-cycle for one gentle bulge.

Angled cuts

The single and double angled shapes use straight-line paths, giving a crisp, modern diagonal break instead of a soft curve.

Layered waves

Two wave paths at different amplitudes and opacities are stacked to suggest depth, like waves at different distances.

Positioning technique

Placing the divider in an absolutely positioned wrapper at the edge of a relatively positioned section lets it overlap the boundary seamlessly.

CSS divider shape generator FAQ

Is this only a wave divider tool?

No. It covers six different divider shapes, a wave, an angled single line, an angled double chevron, a curve, a zigzag and layered waves, all computed as real parametric SVG paths so height and flip controls genuinely reshape them.

How does the flip control work?

Flip vertical mirrors the shape's points top to bottom and flip horizontal mirrors them left to right, so the same divider can point up or down and lean either direction without redrawing it by hand.

How do I actually place a divider between two sections?

The copied code includes a wrapper positioned absolutely at the edge of a relatively positioned section, with the SVG stretched to full width, which is the standard technique for overlapping a divider on a section boundary.

Does the divider stay sharp at any screen width?

Yes. Because it is an SVG with preserveAspectRatio set to stretch, the path scales smoothly to any container width without pixelating.
