How is this different from just changing playback speed?

Changing speed shifts pitch and duration together (faster = higher pitch, shorter); this tool shifts pitch independently, keeping the original duration unchanged.

How many semitones can I shift?

You can shift up or down by a range of semitones covering typical creative and correctional use — larger shifts start to noticeably affect natural-sounding timbre, as with any pitch-shifting technique.

Does pitch shifting affect audio quality?

Some quality tradeoff is inherent to any pitch-shifting algorithm, more noticeable at larger shifts — small shifts (a few semitones) are generally very clean.

Does Audio Pitch Changer upload my files to a server?

No. Audio Pitch Changer runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

Shifting a track's pitch — up for a different vocal register, down for a specific creative effect — normally also changes its playback speed, unless the tool is specifically built to separate the two. This tool shifts an audio clip's pitch up or down in semitones while keeping its duration exactly the same, useful for key changes, vocal experiments, or matching a track's pitch to another without altering its tempo.
