Convert JPG to MusicXML in three steps
- Upload the .jpg or .jpeg file with the music.
- TuttiKit prepares the image (crops the page, straightens it and boosts contrast) and recognizes notes, rhythms, clefs and key signatures.
- Check the score on screen and download the MusicXML.
Where JPGs usually come from
- Phone photos: almost every camera saves as JPG.
- Sheet music downloaded as images from websites, forums or chat groups.
- Scanners set to save as JPG instead of PDF.
If the score has several JPG pages, convert them one by one or combine them into a PDF first.
Image quality matters
JPG compresses the image, and heavy compression blurs thin staff lines. Use the original file rather than one forwarded many times through messaging apps, which usually loses quality. Music that fills most of the frame works better than a small score in the middle of a big photo.
After converting
With the MusicXML you can fix the score in your notation software, transpose it for another instrument or extract the parts.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes, with a daily limit on scores. No sign-up needed.
Does a screenshot work?
Yes, as long as it is readable. If it is small, zoom in on the music before taking the screenshot.
Can I convert several JPG images at once?
For now you upload one image at a time. For several pages, combining them into a PDF is easiest.
