What PureMIDI does and why it matters

MIDI is the universal language of digital music: instead of waveforms, it stores which notes were played, when, and how loudly. PureMIDI's live audio converter turns recordings into editable MIDI drafts by detecting pitch and timing; sheet music PDFs, MusicXML, and score images now also convert directly via AI score recognition (Beta).

Audio conversion handles MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, WEBM, AAC, and AIFF by normalizing supported formats before transcription. Score recognition (Beta) handles MusicXML and MXL directly, and uses an AI vision model for PDF, PNG, JPG, and WebP score images. Output is a standard .mid file that opens in Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, GarageBand, Studio One, Pro Tools, MuseScore, Sibelius, Dorico, and any other major DAW or notation tool.

You start from the browser with no plug-ins, installs, or DAW required. Conversion runs on PureMIDI's servers. Eligible audio uploads get a controlled preview of up to 30 seconds with a free account; video and score conversion require sign-in. Complete conversions use one-time credit packs. We never use your audio or scores to train models. Successful-conversion source uploads are deleted within 3 days; failed sources may be retained for up to 14 days for recovery and support.

The site is organized as a suite of focused tool pages so each search intent has its own home: audio to MIDI for supported recordings, video to MIDI for local MP4/MOV/WebM uploads, MP3 to MIDI for lossy song exports, WAV to MIDI for lossless recordings or clean stems, and separate pages for YouTube preview, PDF, sheet music, editing, and prompt-based generation workflows. Pick the entry point that matches what you have in hand.

Built for producers, not just hobbyists

Works best with clear solo parts, vocal lines, and isolated stems, then gives you a DAW-ready MIDI draft for cleanup, sound design, and arrangement.

Built for music education

Convert assigned scores to MIDI for ear-training playback, slow-play studies in any DAW, and turn student recordings into MIDI for grading.

Built for compliance

Clear rights confirmation for YouTube workflows, local-file conversion boundaries, transparent retention policy, and no model training on your files.
