FEATURES
A PDF to MIDI Converter That Actually Reads Your Score
Most online PDF to MIDI tools choke on multi-staff piano scores, slurs and dynamics. Our AI engine is trained on real scanned PDF sheet music — not just clean engravings — so the MIDI you get back is faithful to the page.
AI PDF Score Recognition
Our PDF to MIDI AI reads notes, rests, ties, accidentals and time signatures across multi-page PDF scores. Whether the PDF was exported from MuseScore or scanned from a method book, the converter rebuilds the song into structured MIDI you can edit, play and remix.
Photo-Based PDFs? Clean Pages First
If your PDF was built from phone photos or low-quality scans, OCR accuracy drops sharply. Run each page through our Sheet Music Scanner to get scanner-grade output, rebuild the PDF, then upload here for noticeably cleaner MIDI.
Free, Online, No Install
A free PDF to MIDI converter that runs entirely in your browser. Works on Mac, Windows, Chromebook and Android — no plugin downloads, no MuseScore export hoops, no command-line Audiveris setup. Just upload your PDF sheet music and download a MIDI file.
Multi-Voice & Grand Staff Support
Two-staff piano scores, four-part vocal arrangements, lead-sheet melody plus chords — the engine separates voices into clean MIDI tracks. Bring your converted PDF score into Logic, Ableton, FL Studio or back into MuseScore for further editing without re-keying a single note.
Built for MuseScore, forScore and Sibelius Users
If you already use MuseScore, forScore or Sibelius, you know how painful it is to convert a PDF score back into editable notation. Our PDF to MIDI converter gives you a MIDI starting point you can re-import into any of those programs — way faster than retyping or running Audiveris locally.
Standard MIDI Output
Output is a clean Standard MIDI File — General MIDI compatible, ready for any DAW, notation editor or hardware synth. Tempo, time signature and key signature are preserved from the PDF score, so your MIDI plays back in the original tempo, not a flat 120 BPM stub.
Private by Default
Your PDF score never gets indexed, shared or used to train a public model. Files are processed for the conversion job and then expire. A free PDF to MIDI converter that respects your unreleased arrangements and copyrighted teaching materials.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you'd want to know before converting a PDF to MIDI.
Yes. Our AI PDF to MIDI converter reads the notes, rhythms and time signature on a PDF score and outputs a Standard MIDI File. Both PDFs exported from notation software (MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale) and PDFs of scanned printed sheet music work.
Upload your PDF on this page, wait a few seconds, then download the MIDI file. New accounts include free credits, so converting your first PDF to MIDI is free — no install, no card.
Yes. The PDF to MIDI converter runs entirely online in your browser, so it works on Mac, Windows, ChromeOS and Android. There's nothing to install — and unlike running Audiveris locally, you don't need Java or a command line.
MuseScore can import a PDF, but you usually have to export to MusicXML, then to MIDI, and clean up the result. Our tool takes you straight from PDF to MIDI in one step, then you can re-import the MIDI back into MuseScore if you want to keep editing notation.
Yes. The model is trained on both engraved exports and scanned printed scores. For best results, scan at 300 DPI or higher and avoid heavy skew — but our PDF to MIDI AI tolerates more visual noise than older OMR tools like Audiveris.
Technically yes — the converter reads any PDF score. Whether you may legally redistribute or perform what you generate is a separate question; please respect the license that came with the PDF you purchased.
That's a different tool — MIDI to PDF (or MIDI to sheet music). For that flow, look at our MIDI editor and notation export, or import the MIDI into MuseScore and print it as PDF.
Free credits cover most multi-page PDF scores. Very long scores (full orchestral parts) may take longer to process and consume more credits. The result is the same: a clean Standard MIDI File.

What Musicians Say About Our PDF to MIDI Converter
I had a stack of old PDF lead sheets from a defunct project. Converted every one to MIDI in an afternoon and rebuilt the album in Logic. Would have taken me a week of retyping.
Marcus Hale
Independent Producer
Tried Audiveris, tried MuseScore's PDF import — both choked on my scanned method book PDFs. This tool just worked. The MIDI even kept the dynamics roughly right.
Eleanor Whitlock
Piano Teacher
Forscore on iPad plus this site is my new soundcheck workflow. Convert the PDF chart to MIDI, send it to my Roland, done.
Devin Park
Touring Keys Player
Free PDF to MIDI converter that doesn't shove watermarks into the output. The MIDI file is clean enough to drop straight into Sibelius and finish editing notation.
Priya Raman
Composer & Arranger
I'm on a Chromebook so installing anything is a non-starter. Online PDF to MIDI in the browser is exactly the use case I needed.
Theo Nakamura
Music Student
The two-staff piano support is what sold me. Most PDF to MIDI tools merge both hands into one mess; this one keeps them separated as proper MIDI tracks.
