Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about capturing sound, custom framing, artwork-linked private playback, and worldwide delivery.

Audio Recording & Waveform Design

What length of audio creates the best soundwave art? +

Start with a clear recording, then use the customizer to select the exact sentence, vow, laugh, or other moment you want to keep. The best length depends on the sound and layout; the current customizer shows the active upload and trimming limits before you continue.

What audio file formats can I upload? +

Use a supported audio file such as MP3, M4A, WAV, or AAC, or record directly through your phone or computer microphone inside the customizer. Video upload is not part of the current customer flow, and the customizer validates the current upload requirements before starting.

Can I crop a specific sentence from a longer audio recording? +

Yes! In Step 1 of our customizer, you can drag the precision wave handles to crop the exact segment of sound you want to turn into art and hear played back.

Can I customize the colors and typography of the soundwave? +

Yes. Use the design controls currently shown in the customizer to personalize the available colors, wording, date or place, and typography. Available controls can vary as the builder is updated, so the live customizer is the source of truth.

Scan to Play & Private Playback

How does Scan to Play work? +

After your artwork is activated and the correct piece is selected, Scan to Play opens the private audio recording linked to that Artwork ID through a controlled playback flow. The scan is an access gesture for an already-linked artwork; it is not automatic visual recognition of any arbitrary print.

Does Scan to Play require a visible public QR code? +

The artwork-linked playback flow does not depend on publishing your recording in a public media gallery or promising permanent hosting. Playback availability follows the active retention and playback terms attached to the artwork.

Is my personal voice recording kept private? +

Your recording is handled through VoiceWave’s private media and artwork-linked playback flow rather than a public media gallery. Retention and access follow the current privacy and playback terms; review the Audio Privacy page for the current policy.

Products, Materials & Formats

Where can I check the exact materials and finishes? +

Materials, finishes, sizes, prices, and regional availability can vary by product. Use the current product detail page and the live builder as the source of truth before ordering rather than relying on a fixed sitewide specification.

How do I compare the current VoiceWave product groups? +

Use the Soundwave Art Format Guide to compare the five current groups: Poster Series, Framed Prints, Canvas Prints, Hanging Posters, and Phone Cases. Then confirm the exact size, finish, price, device support, and regional availability in the live builder.

Are every format and size available in every region? +

Not necessarily. VoiceWave’s catalog and regional availability can change. Check the current builder for the exact formats and sizes that are available for your order instead of assuming every catalog option is active everywhere.

Shipping, Turnaround & Tracking

How long does it take to make and deliver my order? +

Studio Handcrafting: 3–5 business days (soundwave vector rendering, giclée printing, custom wood framing, and artisan inspection).
Transit Time: 3–6 business days in the US, UK, and Europe; 4–8 business days in Canada and Australia.
Total Estimated Delivery: Usually 6–10 business days from checkout to your door.

How can I track my package? +

You will receive an automated email with your carrier tracking number as soon as your order leaves our studio. You can also track your package in real-time on our Track Your Order page using your order number and email.

Is shipping free? +

Yes! We offer Free Insured Shipping on all orders over $50 USD.

30-Day Guarantee & Order Changes

What is your 30-Day Free Replacement Guarantee? +

Every shipment is 100% insured. If your artwork arrives damaged in transit, with defective glass, frame blemishes, or printing errors, email photos to support@voicewaveart.com within 30 days. We will immediately rush a 100% free brand-new replacement to your door.

Can I change or cancel my order after paying? +

Because soundwave rendering and studio setup commence quickly, changes or cancellations must be requested within 2 hours of checkout. After 2 hours, production will have begun and edits cannot be made.
