What is MP3 to piano MIDI?
MP3 to piano MIDI transcribes a recording into MIDI tuned for solo piano — melody and chords laid out as notes on a single keyboard part. It is built for piano covers, tutorials, and practice, where you want playable notation rather than a scattered multi-instrument guess.
The model detects the pitches in your MP3 and normalizes them into piano-friendly voicing, so the result opens cleanly in a DAW or notation editor. Preview it on the roll, fix any stray notes, and export MIDI or sheet music to learn or perform the piece.
How it works
Upload your piano audio
Drop an MP3 or WAV of a piano recording. Cleaner, single-instrument piano audio transcribes most accurately. No account needed to convert and preview.
Preview on the piano roll
The result is merged into one Acoustic Grand Piano track and gently aligned to the detected beat. Compare it to the original, then adjust sensitivity or minimum note length if needed.
Download MIDI or sheet music
Download the piano MIDI, correct notes directly on the roll, or export MusicXML/PDF sheet music for MuseScore, Sibelius, or printing.

Getting a clean piano transcription
- Solo piano recordings work best. Backing tracks, vocals, or drums over the piano will add notes that are not part of the piano part.
- Dense chords and fast runs are the hardest to detect perfectly — expect to touch up a few notes in the editor.
- If the sustain pedal blurs notes together, raising the minimum note length can help separate them.
- AI transcription gives you a fast draft; fixing a handful of notes beats transcribing the whole piece by hand.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an MP3 piano recording to MIDI?
Upload the MP3, let the transcription run, and preview it on the piano roll. Fine-tune detection if needed, then download the piano MIDI — no software to install.
Does it work for chords, not just single melodies?
Yes, though single-note melodies are the most accurate. Piano chords and polyphony are detected too, but dense passages may need a few corrections in the built-in editor.
Is the MP3 to piano MIDI converter free?
Yes. Conversion and browser preview are free with no account required. Signing in saves results to your history and unlocks editing and sheet music export.
Can I get sheet music from the piano MIDI?
Yes. Signed-in users can export the transcription as MusicXML or PDF sheet music to open in notation software or print.
