Overview

Chord Identifier is an online music chord identification tool that analyzes a song or audio source and displays the chords it detects. The site positions it as a chord finder, chord analyser, and chord song finder that works by sound rather than manual transcription.

Users can submit audio through upload, YouTube, microphone, or a direct audio URL. After processing, the platform shows the chords and can also offer exports and chord diagrams, with several of those outputs described as premium features.

Features

Multiple audio sources

Choose from upload, YouTube, microphone, or direct audio URL inputs to send a song into the chord recognition workflow.

Chord detection from audio

The site states that the platform analyzes the audio and then displays the detected chords after a short processing period.

Chord exports

Premium export tools include full PDF chord worksheets, TXT exports with timing, and grouped chord export formats.

Chord diagrams

Premium access includes PNG chord diagrams that are shown in sync with playback and presented as part of the song timeline.
