Turn a song into
piano MIDI + sheet music

Upload a song or paste a YouTube link. You get the piano part back as MIDI, printable sheet music and MusicXML. It works on normal recordings, not only solo piano. Synth keys, electric pianos and music boxes count too.

converter
Drop a song here, or tap to choose mp3, wav, flac, m4a, mp4. A .mid works too, it just gets played back.

Examples

Click one to hear it. Nothing here was cleaned up by hand.

Public domain pieces, transcribed from real competition performances. The audio is our MIDI played on a sampled grand, not the original recording. Every piece has its own page with the free .mid download in the free piano MIDI catalogue - Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Debussy and more.

How it works

Most converters read the whole mix at once, which is why cymbals and bass end up as piano notes. This one separates the song into six instruments first and only reads the keys. If the keys in your song are a synth or a music box rather than a real piano, that works too.

FAQ

Is this really free?

Yes. Six songs an hour per person, no account, nothing that runs out. There is a tip jar in the footer if you feel like it.

What can I upload?

mp3, wav, flac, m4a, ogg and mp4, up to 15 minutes or 120 MB, or paste a YouTube link. A .mid file also works, that one just gets played back with a decent piano sound instead of converted.

Can I paste a YouTube link?

Yes. Paste the link, pick a mode and the audio is fetched for you, up to 15 minutes. Age-restricted and private videos are the exception; save those yourself and upload the file.

Do I get sheet music too?

Yes, two kinds. The full sheet has every transcribed note as printable PDF and MusicXML for notation apps. The simple sheet is for everyone else: just the melody on one staff with chord symbols above it, the version you can actually put on a stand as a beginner. Songs with a steady beat come out cleanest.

How good is it?

A recording of a real piano comes back close to note-perfect, pedal included. Full band songs depend on how loud the keys sit in the mix. Synth keys, electric pianos and music boxes get picked up too, which is where most converters give up.

My song has vocals and drums, will it still work?

Yes, that is the whole point. The song gets split into six instruments first and only the keys are transcribed, so cymbals and bass do not turn into piano notes.

Why does this work when other converters gave me garbage?

They read the whole mix at once, so a hi-hat and a staccato chord look the same to them. This one separates first and only reads the keys. If you are comparing tools, we wrote an honest comparison, including what the others do better than us.

What is it built on?

Our own models, routing and training, on top of open-source foundations: demucs, SCNet, transkun and YourMT3.

Who owns the MIDI?

You do. We claim nothing. Whether the song itself allows covers or sampling is between you and whoever wrote it.

Do you keep my files?

The audio you upload is deleted within a day. The results, the MIDI, sheet music and preview, stay downloadable for 30 days, so a link you share keeps working. Your conversion history only lives in your own browser.
