About SongRecogniser
Building the fastest, most accessible, and privacy-respecting song finder and music identifier on the web.
What is SongRecogniser?
SongRecogniser is a free online music recognition platform designed to help music enthusiasts, creators, video editors, and listeners identify any song playing around them or buried inside video and audio files.
Whether you need a song finder by sound for radio tracks, a song finder by video for TikTok clips, or an instant music identifier with BPM and key insights, SongRecogniser eliminates the guesswork in seconds — entirely without app downloads, mandatory registrations, or subscription paywalls.
How Our Acoustic Fingerprinting Works
Every musical track possesses an acoustic profile composed of distinct frequencies, harmonic overtones, rhythms, and tempo variations.
When you upload a video or audio file, modern Web Audio API decodes the audio track locally inside your browser without transferring large video files.
The audio segment is converted into time-frequency spectrograms, capturing peak frequency constellations that form an acoustic fingerprint.
The compact fingerprint is matched against global music databases to return accurate track titles, artists, albums, and streaming links.
Because our system compares spectral patterns rather than raw audio files, it reliably identifies music even when background speech, ambient chatter, or mild compression is present.
Our Privacy Philosophy
We believe user privacy should never be traded for convenience. SongRecogniser is engineered with privacy as a foundational principle:
- No Audio Storage: We do not store, archive, or sell your voice recordings or uploaded media files.
- Browser-Side Processing: Video and audio extraction occurs client-side using WebAssembly and the HTML5 Web Audio API.
- No Account Required: You never need to supply an email address, create a password, or link social accounts to identify songs.
Respecting Artists and Rights Holders
SongRecogniser is built to support the music ecosystem. We do not host, store, or offer downloads of copyrighted audio tracks. Every match directly links to authorized digital streaming platforms including YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music, helping artists receive royalties and proper attribution.
