Tap along to the beat of any track to find its BPM (beats per minute) — handy for syncing cuts and effects to music.
Tap the button in rhythm
Keep tapping for a few more beats for a more accurate reading.
The BPM Finder calculates a track's tempo in beats per minute by having you tap along to the beat, averaging the timing between your taps into a live BPM reading. It's built for video editors syncing cuts and effects to music, creators picking background music that matches a video's pace, and musicians who just want a fast way to find a song's tempo without dedicated audio software. Each tap is timestamped, and the tool averages the most recent intervals to smooth out small timing variations in your tapping — the more consistently you tap, the more accurate the reading. If you pause for more than a couple of seconds, it automatically starts a fresh count rather than mixing an old rhythm into a new one.
It's as accurate as your tapping rhythm — for best results, tap along for at least 8–10 beats; the tool averages your intervals to smooth out small timing variations.

If you pause for more than about 2.5 seconds between taps, the tool automatically starts a fresh count rather than blending an old rhythm with a new one.
