Most tools that change pitch music producers rely on live inside a DAW. This one runs in your browser: two sliders, one for the key and one for the tempo, so the tempo only moves if you want it to. Use it as a plain audio pitch changer when you just want the number moved, or as an MP3 pitch changer if that's the file you're starting from. It's a pitch changer free of any install, and the fastest way to change pitch online: as a pitch shifter online it works on a phone as well as a desktop, and you can change audio pitch online without the speed changing.

Full-quality stems. No account, no per-track fee. Same model and same 192 kbps (or lossless WAV) as the paid tier: tracks up to 15 minutes. This pitch changer online free tool keeps the same 192 kbps quality on free and paid.
Change pitch without changing speed
Old-fashioned pitch shifting is just playing the record faster: raise the pitch and the song speeds up with it. This doesn't do that. The two sliders are independent, so you can transpose a track a fourth up and it stays exactly as long as it was.
- Key, up or down 12 semitones, a full octave either way
- Speed, 50% to 150%, with the pitch left alone
- Both at once, slow it down and drop it a tone, if that's what you need
- You get an MP3 back and your upload is deleted the moment it appears
How to change the pitch of a song
- Drop your file in the box above: MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC or a video file, up to 10 minutes long.
- Drag the Key slider to the number of semitones you want. One semitone is one fret, or one piano key. Use the Speed slider separately if you want to change tempo too.
- Press Change it, listen to the result, and download the MP3.
To change pitch of song files one by one, download each result before dropping in the next. The page shows which key you started in and which key you land in, so it doubles as a pitch converter from semitones to keys and you don't have to work out the transposition yourself. It is a deliberately simple pitch editor: the key slider works like a pitch switch online, and you pitch audio online without opening any software. How to change pitch of a song online here: upload the file, move the key slider until the song sits where you want it, then download the MP3.
What people use it for
People change pitch of a song for all kinds of reasons: these are the ones we hear most:
- Singing in a key that fits. A song sits two semitones too high for your range. Drop it two and the backing is yours.
- Learning a part. Slow it to 70% without the pitch dropping, and every note stays where it is on the instrument.
- Matching two tracks. Bring a sample into the key of your project instead of the other way around.
- Tuning to a different reference. Playing along with an instrument tuned a semitone down is one slider away.
- Transposing on the fly. Move a whole track into a new key before you rehearse with a band.
It isn't only a music pitch changer. As a sound pitch changer it works on anything with audio in it, and changing pitch of voice memos or spoken clips works the same as whole tracks.
Shifting the pitch of a video's soundtrack
Got a clip, a dubbed scene, or a movie soundtrack rather than a plain audio file? Drop the MP4 in the same box. You get the shifted soundtrack back as an MP3, not a new video, so put it back under the picture in your editor afterwards.
How far you can push it
This is real time-stretching, not a speed knob, so it holds up much further than resampling does, but not infinitely. A pitch shift of a semitone or three is transparent on most material; past about five, cymbals and vocal consonants start to smear, and at a full octave you'll hear it. Speed works the same way: 70-130% is comfortable, and the slider stops at 50% because anything lower turns to soup.
Push the key slider all the way up and any clip turns into a squeaky, sped-up-sounding voice fast: good for a chipmunk-style joke edit, less good if you still want it to sound like a real voice. Slide the other way to drop the pitch instead, which sits a song in a more comfortable singing range or gives a voice a deeper, darker edit; as a pitch lowerer or tone changer it doesn't slow the track down.
Working on your own edit? StemGrab can hand you the vocals and the instrumental separately, so you can shift only the part you need. Because it runs in an ordinary browser tab, there is no pitch changer Chrome extension to install, update or remove later. Want to know the key before you move it? The key finder reads it in about two seconds. If you'd rather change key of song files by picking the target key by name, the song key tool does that; to change the key of a song by a few semitones, this slider is enough. If you've used the X Minus pitch changer, this works much the same but needs no account.
Common questions
Is the pitch changer free?
Yes: no account, no e-mail, no watermark, no daily cap. It runs on our own hardware, and a pass doesn't unlock better quality, and so the pitch shifter free result is identical to what a paying user gets. As an online pitch changer it lets you shift pitch online as often as you like.
Does changing the pitch make the song faster?
No. Pitch and speed are separate sliders here: move one and the other stays put. That's what makes this song pitch changer a pitch shifter rather than a speed knob.
Can I change both pitch and speed at the same time?
Yes. It's an audio speed and pitch changer with two independent sliders, one for pitch in semitones and one for speed as a percentage, and you can move both at once without either affecting the other. It doesn't show or set a BPM number, so it isn't a BPM changer as such; for the tempo reading, use the BPM finder.
How long can the track be?
Up to 10 minutes on this page, so as a song pitch shifter it handles a full track, not just a short clip. The stem splitter on the home page takes longer files.
Which files can I use?
MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC and video files like MP4 go in directly, with no converting first. To change pitch of MP3 files, just drop them in: as an MP3 pitch shifter it needs no conversion, and WAV and FLAC work the same way.
What quality do I get back?
The pitch changer MP3 output is 192 kbps, rendered once from your original file, so a pitch shifter MP3 from here loses no more quality than a normal export. This audio pitch changer online free of charge renders at the same quality as the paid tier.
Can I use it as a vocal pitch changer?
Yes. To change pitch of voice recordings, upload the vocal file, drag the key slider to the target semitones, and the voice is transposed without changing the tempo. As a voice pitch changer it works best on a clean vocal: to change tone on the vocal alone without the backing, split the song first.
Does it keep the voice from sounding like a chipmunk?
Up to a point. As an audio pitch shifter it uses real time-stretching, not simple resampling, so pitch and speed stay independent. It doesn't correct formants, though: the character of a voice moves with the pitch, so small shifts sound natural and large ones start to colour the voice.
Does this correct pitch automatically, like Auto-Tune?
No: this is a manual changer, not automatic correction software. You choose the semitones yourself; nothing auto-tunes you into key in the background.
Can I use a vocal remover and pitch changer together?
Yes: separate the song into vocals and instrumental with the vocal remover first, then run either file through this pitch changer. There's no combined vocal remover pitch changer in one pass, but doing it in that order keeps both parts clean.
Does it work on a video?
You can upload a video, and the soundtrack is shifted. What comes back is an MP3 of the audio, not a video file, so as a video pitch changer it does the audio half of the job.
Is there a pitch changer for YouTube links?
No. This page takes files, not links, so it isn't a YouTube pitch changer in that sense: a YouTube pitch change starts with the audio file itself. If you have the video file, extract audio from video or drop it straight in; there's no pitch changer YouTube extension to install either.
Do I need to install anything?
No. To pitch shift online there's nothing to download on Windows or Mac and no Chrome extension; the processing runs on our own server and the file is deleted as soon as the result has been sent back. There is no pitch changer app to install either: the same two sliders are on this page in any browser.
Is my upload stored?
No. Your upload is deleted the moment it's processed and the result is wiped from the server within 45 minutes (24 hours with any pass, paid or free: that longer window is part of what the pass is for). Nothing is shared or used to train anything. See privacy.
