Overview
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.
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.[3]

Reception
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.
