<p>As this is the video production forum, one answer would be <a href="https://inkscape.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Blender</a>. If you do not know it is a free but awesome 3D modeling program, editor, compositor.</p>

<p>There are several options, visualizing the general beat or volume, or trying to make something more complex.</p>

<p>Take one dive into a search:</p>

<p>If you want something static you can make a screen capture of any visualizer and draw on top of it. You can use <a href="https://inkscape.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Inkscape</a> for that as @stib already mentioned.</p>

<p>I have a sound file of my daughter laughing and I want to convert it into an image like the one attached, not just the typical line style of sound waves. Does anyone know a program that makes sound waves like this, I have illustrator and photoshop, so could always take a screen shot if I found a program. Or even better if the program would let me import it to use as a vector file would be amazing! <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/uDyt2.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/uDyt2.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

Any sound editing program can show you the audio waveform. [Audacity](https://www.audacityteam.org/) is a free cross-platform one, or you could use Adobe's Audition (subscription based though there is a free trial). They don't specifically export waveforms as images, but you could screenshot the waveform and beautify it with the image editor of your choice.

Alternatively you could use one of the many online visualiser pages. This one is a good example, it can export the waveform as an SVG graphic. <https://www.misha.studio/waveformer/>
