Chordify is a music education platform that automatically extracts chords from songs and synchronizes them with audio playback. Launched in 2013, it is available as a web app and on Android and iOS devices. [1]
Chordify uses algorithms based on music information retrieval (MIR) research to analyze harmonic content and display chords in sync with audio. [2] Users can upload audio files or input links from platforms like YouTube, SoundCloud, and Deezer. [3]
It supports multiple instruments (guitar, piano, ukulele), offers features like chord transposition, playback looping, and a multi-string tuner, and presents chords in a simplified, beginner-friendly format. [4]
Chordify originated from MIR research conducted at Utrecht University [5] , focusing on computational modeling of music perception. [2] The company operates offices in Utrecht and Groningen.
Chordify has received attention for its accessible design and educational value. [1] It is often compared to services like Ultimate Guitar and Yousician, though it emphasizes real-time harmonic analysis over static tablature.
