How to transpose chords
- Paste a song sheet, a chord chart or just a list of chords into the left box. The example song is there to show the idea.
- Press + or − to move everything up or down by semitones. The result updates as you type.
- Copy the result back into your songbook.
Chords written above the lyrics keep their position over the right syllable. Chords inside square brackets, like [Am7] in ChordPro format, are transposed anywhere in the text. Words in the lyrics are left alone.
Using a capo
Pick a capo fret and the result shows the chord shapes to play with the capo on, while the song still sounds in the key above. For example, a song in A played with a capo on the 2nd fret uses G shapes.
Sharps or flats?
On Auto the tool spells chords the way they appear in the new key, so you get B♭ and E♭ in F major but A♯ and D♯ in B major. Choose ♯ or ♭ to force one spelling.
Which chords are understood?
Major, minor, sevenths, maj7, sus, add, dim, aug, extensions like 9, 11 and 13, altered notes like 7♭9, and slash chords such as D/F♯.
