Features

Audio BPM Detector is a free local tool that calculates the beats-per-minute tempo of any music track directly in your browser. Drag in an MP3, WAV, or FLAC file from your desktop or tap the tempo manually with a microphone or spacebar, and the analyzer will output a stable BPM reading plus beat-tap markers you can export to your DAW or video editor. Everything runs client-side — audio files never leave your device and are never uploaded, so unreleased tracks and commercial stems stay fully private.

Audio BPM Detector measures the tempo of a song or recording in beats per minute - analysed locally in your browser, with the audio never uploaded.

When You Need This

Common pain points this tool solves

1. Syncing cuts in CapCut, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve to the beat.
2. Planning a DJ set and checking whether two tracks sit in a compatible tempo range.

How to Use

Step-by-step instructions

1. Open the tool and choose Auto (Audio Analysis) or Manual (Tempo Tap).
2. In Auto mode, upload a local audio file (mp3, wav, m4a, ogg, flac) or allow microphone access for a live source.
3. Wait while the Web Audio analyser estimates the tempo and reports a confidence level.
4. In Manual mode, tap the large button in time with the beat at least eight times.
5. Read the current and average BPM, then copy the number with one click.
6. Paste the BPM into your video editor, DAW or DJ software.

How it works

Step-by-step instructions

1. Choose a mode. Use Auto for clear rhythmic tracks, or Manual when the rhythm is soft or uneven.
2. Load the audio. Select a local file, or enable the microphone to analyse whatever is playing in the room.
3. Let it analyse. The analyser scans the signal for a repeating beat and returns an estimated BPM with a confidence level.
4. Confirm the number. If confidence is low, switch to Tempo Tap and tap along until the average stabilises.
5. Copy and use. Copy the BPM value and drop it into your editor, DAW or DJ software.
