How to Use
- Drop in an audio file or click to choose one — MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, or FLAC. It stays on your device and is never uploaded.
- Wait a moment while it analyzes the beat and shows the tempo in BPM, with a classical tempo marking and a confidence rating.
- If the reading feels off, tap a half-time or double-time alternative — detection can lock onto half or double the real beat.
- Option 1 — Hear it with a click: play the song with a metronome click on top. If the click stays locked to the beat, the BPM is right.
- Option 2 — Tap it yourself: play the song without the click and tap the pad along to the beat, then compare your tapped BPM to the detected one.
- Copy the BPM and use it in the Metronome or Drum Tracks to practice the song at the right speed.
About this tool
About This Online BPM Finder
Guitar Tool Hub's free BPM finder (also called a music tempo finder, BPM counter, or BPM detector) measures the tempo of any song or audio file right in your browser. Drop in an MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, or FLAC and it analyzes the beat to report the tempo in beats per minute, along with a confidence rating and half-time / double-time alternatives. Play your track back with a metronome click layered on top to confirm the reading by ear. Because all analysis happens locally on your device, nothing is ever uploaded — and it works best on tracks with a clear, steady beat.
