Overview
PitchKey is a real-time pitch shifter for YouTube. Move any video up or down by up to 12 semitones (one octave) without changing tempo, and adjust playback speed independently from 0.25x to 4x.
Built for musicians, vocalists, and music students.

• Singers transposing songs to a comfortable vocal range
