Chord Transposer

Use this free online chord transposer to quickly transpose guitar chords, piano chords, or full chord charts to any key. Perfect for singers adjusting to their vocal range or guitarists using a capo. Supports slash chords like D/F# and common chord types (m, 7, maj7, sus, add9, dim, aug).

Input Paste lyrics + chords (format preserved)
Output Ready
Tip: If your chart uses flats (Bb, Eb) and the output shows sharps (A#, D#), you can switch the “To key” to a flat key (like Bb) to prefer flat spellings.

How this chord transposer works

The tool finds chord roots (like C, F#, Bb) and shifts them by a number of semitones. It keeps the chord quality (m, 7, maj7, sus4, add9, etc.) the same, and it also transposes bass notes in slash chords like D/F#.

Whether you're changing keys to match a singer's range, using a capo on guitar, or converting a song for piano, this chord transposer keeps the chord quality intact while shifting the root notes correctly.

FAQ

Why are my chords changing from flats to sharps?

Some notes can be spelled both ways (A# = Bb). Use the “To key” picker to bias the output toward sharps or flats.
