How to transpose a chord progression
Enter chord symbols separated by spaces, bars, commas, or line breaks. Choose the written key and destination key; the converter moves roots and slash-bass notes by the same interval while preserving suffixes such as minor, seventh, suspended, and added-note labels.
Capo chord converter and downloadable chart
Select the chord shape you want to hold. Each row shows the sounding chord when that shape is moved upward by the listed capo fret. The CSV download is generated directly from the visible rows.
| Capo fret | Chord shape | Sounding chord |

Source basis: Yamaha, The Art of Using a Capo, which explains that a capo at the first fret raises the same shapes by one semitone.
A transposer is different from a chord finder
The song chord finder analyzes audio to estimate which chords occur. This page starts with chord symbols you already know and converts the entire written sequence into another key.
Chord transposer questions
These answers cover chord suffixes, slash chords, capo meaning, and privacy.
Are minor and seventh suffixes preserved?
Yes. Only the root and optional slash-bass note move; text after the root stays attached.
What happens to a slash chord?
Both parts move by the same interval, so C/E transposed up two semitones becomes D/F-sharp.
Does a capo change the chord shape name?
Your fingers keep the written shape, while the capo raises the chord that listeners hear.
Is my progression uploaded?
No. Parsing, transposition, table creation, copying, and CSV generation happen in this browser.
