Paste any chord progression. Shift it to a new key in one tap, or find the capo position that turns barre-chord nightmares into easy open shapes. Runs instantly in your browser — nothing to install, no sign-up.
Some songs are written in keys full of barre chords. Put a capo on, play simpler open shapes, and it still sounds in the original key. Pick a capo fret and we'll show the shapes to play.
Where common open-chord shapes sound once you clamp a capo on:
| Capo | C shape sounds in | G shape sounds in | D shape sounds in | A shape sounds in | E shape sounds in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | C# | G# | D# | A# | F |
| 2 | D | A | E | B | F# |
| 3 | D# | A# | F | C | G |
| 4 | E | B | F# | C# | G# |
| 5 | F | C | G | D | A |
| 7 | G | D | A | E | B |

Transposing means moving every chord by the same number of half steps (semitones) so the song lands in a new key — handy for matching your voice or another instrument. A capo does the same thing physically: clamp it on the Nth fret and your open shapes ring out N semitones higher, so you can play a song in a hard key using easy chords. This tool does the math both ways. The chord names are facts; trust your ear on the final voicing.

Move every chord up or down by the same number of semitones. Paste your chords here, pick the interval or target key, and the tool shifts them all at once.
It tells you which fret to put a capo on so you can play simpler open-chord shapes while the song still sounds in the original key.
It changes the pitch of everything together, so the song sounds higher or lower but the relationships between notes — the melody and feel — stay the same.
