What is a transpose?
The transpose exchanges rows and columns. An entry at row i, column j moves to row j, column i.
Use it to reverse a matrix’s row/column viewpoint and build symmetric products.

Important boundary
Transpose changes the shape of a rectangular matrix.
Use the Matrix Calculator to experiment with small exact matrix operations before applying a more specialized route.
Quick guide
How to use this calculator
- Choose A's dimensions.
- Enter every matrix value.
- Read Aᵀ with its row and column counts exchanged.
Calculation method
Reflect entries across the main diagonal
The entry aᵢⱼ becomes the entry in row j and column i of Aᵀ.
Worked example
Transpose a rectangular matrix
The two rows of [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]] become three columns.
Aᵀ = [[1,4],[2,5],[3,6]]
Supported inputs
Precision and limits
Matrix size
Each input matrix may contain 1–6 rows and 1–6 columns.
Entry precision
Each signed decimal may contain up to 30 digits and 15 decimal places.
Exactness
Finite decimals are converted to reduced fractions before calculation; matrix arithmetic is not rounded.
