Free Online Pitch Shifter

Our free pitch shifter lets you raise or lower the pitch of any song by up to a full octave in either direction, without changing how fast it plays. You adjust the pitch in semitones — the smallest step between two notes on a piano — so you can nudge a track up or down by tiny amounts or move it a whole octave. Crucially, the tempo stays exactly the same, so the timing and groove of the music are never touched; only the notes get higher or lower.

That makes it incredibly useful for singers and musicians. If a song sits too high or too low for your voice, you can transpose it into a comfortable, singable key in seconds, which is perfect for practice, covers and karaoke. Instrumentalists use it to match a backing track to a guitar with a capo, a differently tuned instrument, or a transposing instrument like a trumpet or saxophone, without having to learn the part in a new key.

It is also a creative playground. Producers and content creators shift pitch up for a bright, chipmunk-style effect or down for a deep, dramatic, slowed-down feel. You can correct a recording that came out slightly sharp or flat, experiment with how a melody sounds in a different register, or build unique sound effects. Because changing the pitch does not speed up or slow down the audio, everything stays perfectly in time as you experiment.

Everything runs right inside your browser, so your audio is never uploaded to a server. It is fast, private, and there is no sign-up or watermark. Just drop in a file, drag the slider to the number of semitones you want, and download your pitch-shifted MP3.

Frequently asked questions

Does changing pitch change the speed?
No. The tempo is preserved, so the song plays at its normal speed and stays perfectly in time — only the pitch goes higher or lower.
What is a semitone?
A semitone is the smallest step between two notes, like moving from one key to the next on a piano. Twelve semitones add up to one octave.
How do I find a singable key?
Shift the song down a few semitones if it feels too high, or up if it feels too low, until it sits comfortably in your voice. Small changes of two or three semitones are usually enough.
Will shifting the pitch reduce the quality?
Small shifts sound very natural. Large shifts of many semitones can introduce slight artefacts, since the tool is stretching the sound a long way — for the cleanest result, use the smallest shift that does the job.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing ever leaves your device.
What format is the output?
Your pitch-shifted audio is saved as an MP3, ready to play or share anywhere.
