PureMIDI
Turn audio or sheet music into editable MIDI, right in your browser.
PureMIDI isn't a music generator, it's a converter. Feed it an existing recording (MP3, WAV, M4A), a sheet music PDF, MusicXML, or even a score image, and it detects pitch and timing to produce a standard, editable .mid file. It can also pull the audio straight out of a video file if that's where your source material lives. A browser-based MIDI editor lets you clean up the result afterward instead of switching to separate software. A free account gets you a 30-second preview of eligible audio with no card required. Full conversions run on credit packs rather than a subscription, and only successful conversions use up credits, so a failed attempt doesn't cost you anything.
