Chord Transposer - Change the Key of Any Chord Sheet

It counts the distance around the 12-note chromatic scale from the from key to the to key, for example C to D is 2 semitones up, and applies that same shift to every chord in the sheet, so a G becomes an A and a Cmaj7 becomes a Dmaj7 at the same +2 shift.

It looks at where a token sits, whether it lines up with the spacing pattern of a chord line above lyrics, or sits inside brackets, and whether it matches a real chord pattern like a root note plus a quality. A lyric line that just happens to contain the word 'A' or 'Am' in ordinary text is left as plain lyrics rather than transposed.

No, column alignment is kept, so a chord written above the 'lo' in 'hello' stays above roughly the same spot after the shift, even though a new chord name can be a different length, like G becoming F#m7, which the tool accounts for when it rebuilds the line.

Auto spelling matches standard notation for the target key, using sharps for keys like D and A and flats for keys like F and Bb, which is the safest default. Pick sharps or flats manually only if you specifically need one style, for example matching a band member's chart or a horn player's transposed part.

No. The paste, the shift, and the copy or download all happen in your browser, and the chart text is never sent to a server.

Yes, the capo calculator works out which fret and open shapes get you to the same sounding key without changing a single chord name, which is often easier on stage than reading a fully transposed chart.
