How to Pitch Shift Any Song or Video in Your Browser

Ever wanted to change the key of a song to match your vocal range? Or slow down a guitar solo without changing its pitch? With the Vibes Chrome extension, you can do all of this directly in your browser - no software downloads or audio editing skills required.

What is Pitch Shifting?

Pitch shifting changes the musical key of audio without affecting its speed. This is different from simply speeding up or slowing down audio, which changes both pitch and tempo together.

Common uses for pitch shifting:

• Match songs to your vocal range for singing along
• Transpose music to a different key for practice
• Change the mood or feel of a track
• Create unique remixes and mashups

Pitch is measured in semitones:

• +12 semitones = one full octave up

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Vibes work on all websites?

Vibes works on most websites that use standard HTML5 audio and video. Some sites with custom players may have limited compatibility.

Will the original audio be modified?

No - Vibes only affects playback in your browser. The original files are never changed, and other listeners hear the normal version.

Is there any audio quality loss?

Vibes uses high-quality pitch shifting algorithms. For most uses, the audio quality remains excellent. Extreme pitch shifts (more than 6 semitones) may introduce some artifacts.

Can I save pitch-shifted audio?

Vibes is designed for real-time playback modification. For saving modified audio, you would need dedicated audio editing software.
