Synchronized chord timeline
Play the recording and follow every detected chord change at the matching timestamp.
Upload a song or instrument recording to detect its chord progression, key, and BPM, then follow the synchronized timeline, edit labels, and export the chord chart.
Drop a song, accompaniment, or instrument recording here, or import from:
A song to chords converter analyzes harmony across a recording and turns it into a timed chord progression. Instead of returning one estimated key, it shows where each chord begins and ends throughout the song.
Play the recording and follow every detected chord change at the matching timestamp.
Correct an uncertain chord before saving the chart for practice, arranging, or transcription.
Review the estimated key and tempo alongside the complete chord progression.
Download a readable chord chart or a detailed timeline for another music workflow.
The analysis begins locally after the audio is decoded in your browser.
Choose a complete mix, instrumental, backing track, demo, or clear guitar or piano recording.
Play the track and select any timeline section to hear the chord in context.
Change detection detail or stability when the first chart is too simple or too busy.
Correct labels when needed, then download the progression as TXT or CSV.
Automatic detection is a practical starting point when listening by ear would take too long.
See the harmonic outline before practicing each section on guitar, piano, or another instrument.
Turn a rehearsal take or phone recording into an editable progression with timestamps.
Identify repeating harmony before changing instrumentation, structure, or key.
Compare chord rhythm, key, tempo, and repeated sections during production work.
Both methods benefit from listening and musical judgment.
| Automatic song to chords | Manual transcription | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting speed | Produces a complete first chart quickly | Requires repeated listening |
| Timing | Includes synchronized chord sections | Must be marked manually |
| Complex harmony | May simplify inversions and extensions | Can capture details with a trained ear |
| Best workflow | Analyze, review, and correct | Confirm and refine the final chart |
Dense mixes, bass inversions, altered chords, effects, and tuning differences can require a final correction by ear.
Upload the song and let the analyzer build a synchronized progression. Play each section, compare it with your instrument, and edit labels that need musical judgment.
Yes. It accepts common audio formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC, OGG, AIFF, and compatible browser media.
No. A key finder estimates the overall tonal center, while a song chord finder maps changing harmony across time.
Yes, when the notes are clear enough in the recording. Complete mixes may be less certain than isolated guitar or piano.
The Common and Extended detail modes include suspended, diminished, augmented, seventh, and other richer chord candidates.
Melody notes, bass inversions, percussion, tuning, and overlapping instruments can affect the spectrum. Listen to the section and edit the label when needed.
Yes. TXT creates a readable chart, while CSV includes start time, end time, duration, label, confidence, and edit status.
