What Is a Shape Generator?
The Random Shape Generator instantly creates geometric shapes with SVG previews, letting you experiment with structure, color, and motion in seconds. Tweak complexity, stroke, and transparency to explore dozens of variations without leaving the browser.
Designers, developers, artists, and educators use it to prototype layouts, build creative references, and teach geometry with interactive visuals.
How Do You Use the Shape Generator?
- Choose a shape type: Stay fully random or lock to polygons, stars, blobs, waves, or spirals.
- Select a color mode: Use curated random colors, generate gradients, or pick an exact custom color.
- Adjust complexity & styling: Set point density, stroke width, opacity, and animation options.
- Decide how many shapes: Generate up to 10 variants at a time for faster exploration.
- Preview & reuse: Copy the SVG code or re-run the generator until you find the perfect combination.
The live preview centers your shapes automatically, making them ready for mockups, presentations, or quick experimentation.

- Test animation and transform pipelines in front-end code.
- Generate placeholder art for early prototypes.
- Explore responsive layout behavior with varied shapes.
Game & Creative Coding
- Build procedural assets and sprite references.
- Prototype level elements and decorative props.
- Feed random geometry into shaders or particle systems.
- Stress-test collision or physics engines.
Education & Workshops

- Encourage creative coding exercises in the classroom.
Frequently Asked Questions
What shape types can I generate?
Choose from polygons, stars, circles, waves, spirals, and organic blobs—or leave the generator on random to mix them together.
How do the color modes work?
Random mode picks from a balanced palette, gradient mode blends two colors automatically, and custom mode uses the exact hex value you select.
Can I control rotation and animation?
Yes. Toggle rotation, animation, smooth edges, and shadows to give each shape more personality.
How do I export the results?
Click “Copy Results” to copy clean SVG code to your clipboard for direct use in design tools or front-end projects.
