How it works

Detect the tempo in three steps

01

Drop a file

Add an MP3, WAV, M4A, or FLAC — or a MP4/MOV video. It is read straight from your device and never sent anywhere.

02

We find the beat

The tool tracks the rhythmic pulse and locks onto the tempo, offering half-time and double-time alternatives.

03

Read or tap

Read the BPM and copy it, switch to the half/double value, or use tap-tempo to count along yourself.

The basics

What BPM means

BPM stands for beats per minute — the number of beats in one minute of music, and the standard measure of how fast a song is. A higher BPM feels faster and more energetic; a lower BPM feels slower and more relaxed.

DJs match BPMs to beat-mix two tracks; producers set a project tempo before recording; dancers and runners pick songs by pace. Because the same groove can be counted at half or double speed, the finder shows those alternatives so you always land on the value you mean.

Need the key too?

Tempo is only half the mixing picture. To check what scale a song is in, open the song key finder, or get both at once — key, Camelot code, and BPM together — with the key and BPM finder.

Once you know the tempo, you can pull the track apart with the stem splitter for vocals, drums, and bass to remix or sample.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this BPM finder free?
Yes. Detecting the tempo is completely free with no sign-up and no limits. Your file is analyzed locally in your browser and never uploaded, so there is no queue and nothing to pay for.
Why does my BPM show as double (or half)?
Tempo is ambiguous by nature: a track at 140 BPM can be heard and counted as 70, and a 85 BPM beat can read as 170. The detector picks the most likely value but also offers the half-time and double-time candidate, so if a result feels too fast or too slow, switch to the alternate.
Can I tap the tempo by hand?
Yes. Alongside automatic detection there is a tap-tempo option: tap the button or press a key in time with the beat and it averages your taps into a live BPM reading. It is handy for live music, ambiguous grooves, or double-checking the automatic result.
What file formats can I analyze?
MP3, WAV, M4A, and FLAC all work, and most MP4 and MOV video files decode their audio track too. Everything is processed on your device, so larger lossless files are fine and nothing leaves your computer.
How accurate is the BPM detection?
It is reliable for music with a steady beat, which covers most produced tracks. Songs with tempo changes, rubato, or a very sparse rhythm are harder — use the half/double-time toggle or the tap-tempo option to confirm the reading.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The BPM finder runs entirely in your web browser — there is no app, plugin, or extension to install. Open the page, drop a file, and read the tempo.
