Song key changer transpose a track, and see where it lands

By ShinobiTools Team · Last updated: August 2026

Transpose a song into a key that fits you. We read the key off your file, shift it by the semitones you pick, and tell you exactly where you land — A minor to B minor, not "+2".

It names the key, not just the number

Most transposers hand you "+3 semitones" and leave the counting to you. This one measures the key of your upload in the same pass as the shift, so the result says F major → A♭ major. If the audio has no clear tonal centre it says nothing instead of guessing — the same rule as our key finder.

How to change the key of a song

  1. Drop the track in the box above.
  2. Move the Key slider by semitones — up for a higher key, down for a lower one.
  3. Press Change it. The line above the player names both keys.
  4. Download the MP3.

How many semitones do I need?

Count from where you are to where you want to be: every semitone is one piano key including the black ones, or one fret on a guitar.

Singing along and it just sits wrong? Try one or two semitones at a time; the difference between "nearly" and "comfortable" is usually smaller than people expect.

Transposing only part of a track

Shifting the whole mix moves the backing and the vocal together. If you want the backing in a new key and no vocal on top of it, split first: the instrumental maker gives you the backing on its own, and the acapella extractor the voice. Then transpose the one you kept. Only after the key, without changing anything? That's the key finder. Only after speed or pitch in plain semitones? The pitch changer is the same tool with the speed slider up front.

Common questions

Does the song get faster when I change the key?

No. The key slider leaves the length alone; speed has its own slider.

How do you know what key it was in?

We measure it off the audio before the shift, with the same detector as our key finder. On unclear or atonal material it says nothing rather than guessing.

Can it change the key of a video?

Drop in an MP4 and the audio is taken out of it. You get an MP3 back, not a video.

How far can I transpose?

Up to an octave either way. Three semitones or so is inaudible on most material; a full octave you will hear.

Is my upload stored?

No. Your upload is deleted the moment it's processed and the stems are wiped from the server within 45 minutes. Nothing is stored, shared or used to train anything — see privacy.
