BPM Tap Counter
Measure the tempo (BPM) of a song from the intervals of your taps or clicks, then carry that tempo straight over to the Web Metronome to practise.
Features of the BPM Tap Counter
A simple tool to measure the tempo (BPM) of a song by tapping or clicking to the beat. No installation is required, making it easy to check the tempo of any music playing around you.
Open details
Simply tap or click the screen to instantly measure the tempo (BPM) of a song. The tool calculates a stable BPM based on the average interval of your recent taps, providing an accurate and smooth result.
Turn the tempo into seconds and milliseconds
To see how many milliseconds one beat lasts at the tempo you measured, open the Tempo Converter from the conversion link under the result. It keeps the measured BPM and shows beat, bar, and multi-bar lengths along with every note value, including dotted notes and triplets.
From measuring to practising
This tool measures the tempo of a song; the Web Metronome plays a steady beat so you can practise at it. Press the practice button under the result and the metronome opens at the BPM you just measured, so there is no need to type the tempo again. You can still adjust tempo and beats after it opens.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get an accurate measurement?
Tap the button 4 to 8 times at regular intervals in time with the song to get a stable average BPM.
How do I start over?
Press the "Reset" button, or just wait for about 3 seconds without tapping. It will automatically reset and start a new measurement on your next tap.
Why does the measured BPM fluctuate?
Small timing differences between taps affect the result. Tap several times with a steady rhythm to get a more stable average.
Can I practise at the tempo I measured?
Yes. Press the practice button shown with the result and the Web Metronome opens at the measured BPM. You can fine-tune tempo and beats there.
How do the BPM Tap Counter and the Web Metronome differ?
The BPM Tap Counter measures the tempo of a song, while the Web Metronome plays a steady beat at the tempo you choose. Measure first, then move on to practice.
Is my tap history saved?
No. Tap intervals are processed locally in your browser and are not sent to a server.
