    Questions

    Is Chordsight free?

    Yes. Chordsight is free, needs no account, and has no upload limits. All analysis runs in your browser.

    Is my audio uploaded anywhere?

    No. The file is decoded and analyzed locally on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.

    Which audio formats work?

    Anything your browser can decode: MP3, WAV, M4A/AAC, OGG and FLAC in most browsers. Songs up to 10 minutes are analyzed in full.

    Can I paste a YouTube link?

    Not yet. Pulling audio from YouTube needs a server, and Chordsight runs entirely in the browser. Upload an audio file instead.

    How accurate is the chord detection?

    It is reliable on clear pop, rock and folk recordings. It recognizes 24 major and minor chords, so 7ths, sus and diminished chords are simplified to the nearest triad. Dense mixes and jazz harmony lower accuracy.

    How is Chordsight different from Chordify?

    Chordify has a large shared song library, link import from YouTube and other services, and mobile apps. Chordsight is a lightweight free alternative focused on privacy: no account, no ads, and your audio never leaves your device.
