ChordSnap
Scan chords fast
Guitar chord recognition from photos
Turn a chord sheet image into playable guitar diagrams.
ChordSnap is a focused tool for guitarists who work from paper charts, screenshots, rehearsal notes, and lyric sheets. Scan an image, extract the chord symbols, normalize the names, and open diagrams for the chords you need to practice.
1. Take a photo
Use your camera or pick a chord sheet from your photos.
2. Find the chords
ChordSnap reads the chord names and tidies them up for you.
3. Start playing
Open each chord to see a guitar fingering diagram right away.
Chord names from real sheets
Use a photo of a printed song sheet, worship chart, lesson handout, or rehearsal notes and pull out common symbols like C, Am, G7, Fmaj7, and Dsus4.
Normalized for guitar players
Recognized text is cleaned into practical chord names, then matched with playable diagrams so you can move from a chart to the fretboard faster.

Best results guide
- Photograph the whole chord sheet in even light, keeping the title and chord lines sharp.
- Printed chord charts work better than handwriting, especially when chords sit above lyrics.
- After recognition, review each chord and edit anything the OCR read incorrectly before saving.
