How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a MusicXML from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your SVG the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.

Why convert MusicXML → SVG

What this conversion is actually for

MusicXML is the universal interchange format every notation editor reads (Sibelius, Finale, MuseScore, Dorico). To embed the engraved sheet music on a webpage, in a blog post, or inside a presentation, you want SVG, the vector format that scales cleanly at any zoom. Rendered with Verovio, the same engraver IMSLP uses.

A real example

You write an arrangement in MuseScore, export the .musicxml, and want to put the sheet music on your composer website. Convert here, drop the SVG into your CMS, it scales perfectly on retina screens with no rasterisation.

Troubleshooting

Some symbols are missing or misaligned compared to MuseScore.

Verovio targets the SMuFL standard and engraves to a slightly different aesthetic than commercial notation editors. Cross-staff beams, complex articulations, and lyrics with specific font choices may render differently. For one-to-one fidelity to Finale or Sibelius output, export PDF from there instead.

"Verovio failed to load the MusicXML" error.

The file may use MusicXML 4.0 features Verovio does not support, or contain XML errors. Open in MuseScore (free), re-save as MusicXML 3.1, then reconvert.

About MusicXML and SVG

MusicXML, MusicXML notation

MusicXML is the lingua franca of digital sheet music, XML schema designed by Recordare (now MakeMusic, makers of Finale). Carries staves, notes, articulations, dynamics, lyrics, and layout in a way that survives transfer between notation programs (Finale, Sibelius, Dorico, MuseScore). Most digital sheet music sites (musicnotes.com, sheetmusicplus.com) sell MusicXML alongside PDF.

How to open

Finale, Sibelius, Dorico, MuseScore, Notion, StaffPad, every modern notation app. Plain XML in any editor.

SVG, Scalable Vector Graphics

SVG describes images as math (paths, shapes, fills) instead of pixels. The result scales to any size without losing sharpness, perfect for logos, icons, and UI graphics. SVG files are XML text, which means they can be edited in any text editor and styled with CSS. Browsers render SVG natively; for rasterized output (PNG/JPG) you can convert.

How to open

Every browser displays SVG inline. Vector editors (Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Inkscape, Figma) edit them. Any text editor can open the underlying XML.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this MusicXML → SVG converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert MusicXML to SVG?

Sheet music interchange between notation programs. Logos, icons, illustrations, and any graphic that needs to scale crisply. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, SVG works in places where MusicXML doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a MusicXML file in the first place?

Finale, Sibelius, Dorico, MuseScore, Notion, StaffPad, every modern notation app. Plain XML in any editor.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
