Peaks.js is a client-side JavaScript UI component for displaying and interacting with audio waveforms in the browser using HTML canvas. It supports zoomable/scrollable waveform views, point and segment markers, and waveform computation via Web Audio or pre-computed server-side data.
Use cases
- display audio waveforms in the browser
- add zoomable and scrollable waveform views to a web audio player
- annotate audio with segment or point markers
- render stereo or multi-channel waveforms
- build an audio editing or clipping UI
- visualize pre-computed waveform data files
When to choose
- you need interactive waveform visualization in a web app
- you want marker annotations for audio segments
- you need zoom and scroll over long audio recordings
- you want client-side waveform rendering with Web Audio fallback
When to avoid
- you need server-side audio processing rather than browser rendering
- you need a full audio editor rather than a waveform display component
- your project is not browser-based JavaScript
