Tips

Cleaner tempo changes

What sounds best.

  • Stay within ±10% for the most natural sound.

  • Big slow-downs can smear drum hits — that's normal for any time-stretch.

  • If the detected BPM is half or double what you hear, set the target the same way.

  • Long tracks take longer to export on phones.

  • Only process music you have the rights to use.

FAQ

BPM Changer questions

How do I change the BPM of a song?

Load it into the BPM changer above, set the new BPM, preview it and download the WAV. The tempo changes; the pitch stays the same.

Link to this answer

Can I speed up a song without changing the pitch?

Yes — that's what time-stretching does. The preview uses your browser's pitch-preserving playback, and the export uses WSOLA time-stretching.

Is the BPM changer free?

Yes — free, no sign-up, and it runs on your device.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Detection, preview and export all happen in your browser.

What is a tempo changer?

A tempo changer makes audio faster or slower. Good ones, like this page's tool, keep the pitch while they do it. BPM changer and tempo changer mean the same thing here: tempo is just measured in beats per minute.

Link to this answer

How much can I change the tempo?

From 50% to 150% of the original. Changes within about ±10% sound the most natural.

Link to this answer

Does changing the BPM change the song's length?

Yes. The new length is the original length divided by the speed. A 3:00 song at 120% lasts 2:30, and at 75% it lasts 4:00.

Link to this answer

What if the detected BPM is wrong?

Your speed still works out correctly if you set the target from the same number. The tool only uses the ratio between the two, so a song detected at half its real tempo still gets the right percentage. It's the percentage shown under the slider that matters.

Link to this answer

What's the difference between this and slowed + reverb?

The BPM changer keeps the pitch. Slowed + reverb (and nightcore) change speed and pitch together, like a turntable. At 85% speed, the slowed tool drops a song by about 2.8 semitones and adds reverb, while this tool keeps the key and adds nothing.

How do I check a song's BPM manually?

Tap or count the beats for 15 seconds while the song plays, then multiply by four; for a closer number, count for a full minute. If the result feels twice as fast or slow as the groove, halve or double it. For a quick automatic estimate, the free BPM and key finder reads the tempo from the file on your device.

How to speed up or slow down a song without changing the pitch

Load the song into the tempo changer at the top of this page, then:

  • Set the tempo — drag the slider or use the ±1, ±5 and ±10 buttons. The line under the slider shows the speed as a percentage.
  • Preview it — your browser plays the file at the new speed with its pitch kept [1]. You can move the slider while it plays.
  • Download the WAV — this step uses a different method, WSOLA, so it can sound slightly different from the preview.
  • Check the length — the file gets shorter when you speed up and longer when you slow down. A 3:00 song lasts 2:30 at 120% and 4:00 at 75%.
