Chord Transposer
Paste a chord progression or a full chord sheet below, then shift it by semitones or pick a target key. Lyrics and other text are left untouched.
How transposing works
Transposing moves every chord by the same number of semitones, which keeps all the relationships between chords intact — the song sounds the same, just higher or lower. Guitarists transpose to use easier open chords or match a capo position; singers transpose to fit their vocal range.
The tool recognizes chord symbols like Am, F♯, Bbmaj7, Gsus4 or D/F♯ (slash chords) and shifts both the root and the bass note. Use the flats toggle if the target key is usually written with flats (F, B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭).
Frequently asked questions
How do I transpose chords to a different key?
Count the semitones between the old key and the new key and move every chord root by that amount. This tool does it automatically: paste the chords, then use the +/− buttons or select the target key.
Does transposing change the chord qualities?
No. Only the root notes change; qualities and extensions (m, 7, maj7, sus4…) stay the same. C–Am–F–G transposed up two semitones becomes D–Bm–G–A.
What about capo positions?
A capo raises the pitch of the guitar. To sound in the original key while playing easier shapes, transpose the chords down by the number of frets where you place the capo.
