Transpose a key

Pick a key, pick how far to move, and the tool says where you land, what the interval is called and how many sharps or flats the new signature has.

You land in

D major2 sharps

That interval is: up a major second

Songs in D major

Transposing moves the tonic by a number of semitones and keeps the mode. The key signature changes because the new tonic needs a different set of sharps or flats, and the name printed is the spelling with the fewest of them.
