MP3 to sheet music — automatic piano transcription
Short answer: Open Piano: Soloist in your browser, choose Load score → Recording, and pick an MP3, WAV or M4A (or a phone video). The piano part is transcribed automatically and opens as a playable score with falling notes; you can download it as MIDI. It's free for 3 recordings a day (1 fast), up to 8 minutes each, with no account.
Upload a solo piano recording and get a playable score: the notes, dynamics and sustain pedal are transcribed automatically, beats and bars are detected, and the result opens with falling notes and a highlighted score. You can also download it as MIDI.
How it works
- Open the app — the Load score window opens with Recording selected.
- Pick your recording (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC) or a phone video (MP4, MOV). Drag and drop works too.
- Start the conversion — it takes about half the length of the piece, and less with [Fast conversion].
- Play it with falling notes, slow it down, loop bars — or download the MIDI and edit it in MuseScore.
Works best with
- Solo piano recordings — home recordings, concert recordings, YouTube piano covers
- Reverb and sustain pedal are fine; the pedal is transcribed too
- Songs with vocals, drums or guitar can be converted too
Limits
- Up to 8 minutes per recording and 30 MB per file
- Basic (free): 3 a day (1 fast) · Pro-Lite: 5 a day (3 fast) · Pro: 20 a day (10 fast). Failed conversions don't count
- Rhythm notation is automatic — playback matches the recording closely, but the written rhythm can be busier than a hand-made score
FAQ
- Is MP3 to sheet music conversion free?
- Yes. You can convert 3 recordings a day for free, with no account (1 of them fast). Pro-Lite raises it to 5 a day and Pro to 20.
- What is Fast conversion?
- It transcribes on a GPU, so it finishes sooner. For a 3:34 song, standard conversion takes about 1 min 50 s and fast conversion about 1 min. The result is the same.
- What happens to my recording?
- It is sent to our conversion server only for the conversion and deleted right after. Nothing is stored.
- How accurate is it?
- It uses Transkun, a piano transcription model that scores about 98% note accuracy on the standard MAESTRO piano benchmark. Clean solo piano recordings work best.
- Can I edit the result?
- Yes — download the MIDI and open it in MuseScore (free) or any notation app, then upload the fixed score again.
