What is this ukulele chord identifier?
This page is a free reverse ukulele chord identifier for standard GCEA tuning. Tap the frets that match the notes you hold, including open strings, and WhatsChord returns one chord name plus fingering diagrams in your browser. No account is required. It names one chord from your taps and does not scrape songs or YouTube links.
Clear resets the four-string board. Switch to guitar or piano from the tool bar when you need those layouts. Naming rules match the rest of the site.
How do I identify a chord on a ukulele fretboard?
Tap each sounding fret on the four-string GCEA board. Include open strings when they ring. When enough notes are selected, the result area shows a chord name and chord-box diagrams. If several names fit, pick a candidate from the warning list to lock it.
Which ukulele tuning does this page use?
The board uses standard ukulele tuning GCEA (high G re-entrant layout as commonly written for chord diagrams). It is not a baritone DGBE board. If you play another tuning, retune to GCEA or enter pitch classes on the by-notes page instead.

Can this tool name chords from a YouTube link or a full song?
No. WhatsChord only names one chord from notes you tap or select. It does not accept streaming links, upload audio, or build whole-song charts. If you need the name of a shape from a recording, play or hold it yourself and tap those frets, keys, or note chips here instead.
Is WhatsChord a tab editor?
No. This site is a reverse chord identifier: notes in, one chord name and fingering diagrams out. It is not a tablature editor, staff writer, or song library. You will not find measure grids, rhythm strips, or whole-song charts on these pages.
Do I need an account or payment?
No. Every identifier page is free in the browser with no sign-up and no checkout. Instrument and theme preferences may stay in localStorage on your device. Optional native ads may appear below the tool later; they do not cover the fretboard or keyboard.
