Transpose chord charts and find the easiest capo — free

CapoChart is a free toolkit for guitarists and worship teams. Upload a chord chart as a PDF or a photo and it reads every chord, moves them to your key or capo, and re-stamps them in place — so the sheet looks exactly as printed, just in the key you need. Export a clean, print-ready copy with the capo position stamped on.

Not ready to upload a whole chart? The capo calculator takes a key or a list of chords and instantly shows the best capo position, the easy open shapes to play, and a chord diagram for each one.

Frequently asked questions

What does CapoChart do?
CapoChart finds the easiest way to play any song on guitar. Upload a chord chart and it transposes every chord in place to your key or capo, keeping the original layout, and exports a clean print-ready PDF. You can also use the capo calculator on its own to find the best capo position and the easy open-chord shapes for any key.
Can I transpose a PDF or photo of a chord chart?
Yes. Upload a PDF or a scan/photo of a chord sheet. CapoChart reads the chords — from the text layer on engraved charts, or with OCR on scans — moves them to your chosen key or capo, and re-stamps them exactly where they were, so the sheet looks the same but in your key.
How do I find the best capo position for a song?
Enter the song's key or paste its chords into the capo calculator. It tries every capo position, scores each by how many chords become easy open shapes instead of barre chords, and recommends the most comfortable one — which sounds identical to the original.
Is CapoChart free?
Yes. CapoChart is free to use, with no sign-up required. It works in your browser on phone, tablet and desktop.
Does transposing change how the song sounds?
Transposing to a new key changes the pitch to that key. Using a capo does the opposite: it keeps the original pitch while letting you finger easier shapes. CapoChart shows both so you can pick what you need — a new singing key, or easier chords in the same key.
