About Harmonograph Studio
Harmonograph Studio generates mesmerizing Lissajous curves and harmonograph patterns right in your browser. These mathematical visualizations form when multiple oscillating motions combine, creating intricate, symmetrical designs that are hypnotic to watch. Use the interactive controls to adjust frequencies, phases, and parameters in real-time and watch the patterns shift and evolve.
Turn your creations into desktop wallpapers by exporting the designs you generate. Whether you're exploring the spirograph-like patterns or diving deeper into Lissajous mathematics, every curve is unique. All processing happens in your browser—nothing is saved or uploaded, so you can experiment freely.
No signup required, no installation, completely free. Just open it and start creating. Harmonograph Studio is a straightforward tool for anyone curious about generative patterns, mathematical beauty, or who simply enjoys watching intricate designs form.

Frequently asked questions
A harmonograph is a mechanical drawing device that creates complex patterns by combining two or more pendulums. Digital harmonographs recreate this effect mathematically, letting you adjust oscillation frequencies and phases to generate intricate, symmetrical designs. The resulting patterns are purely mathematical, yet often resemble spirals, flowers, or abstract mandalas.
Adjust the frequency ratios between the oscillators to create different spirograph effects. Higher ratios and certain phase combinations produce the classic looping, flower-petal patterns spirograph toys are known for. Experiment with the sliders to find combinations you like, then export as a wallpaper.
A Lissajous curve is the path traced by a point that moves in two dimensions, each controlled by a separate oscillating function at different frequencies. The ratio of these frequencies determines the curve's shape—simple ratios create recognizable patterns, while complex ratios produce intricate, densely-filled designs.
Yes. Once you've tuned a pattern you like, export it as an image and use it as your desktop or mobile wallpaper. The export runs entirely in your browser, so the image file is created locally on your device with no server uploads.
