How do you import a MIDI file into PianoGo?
You can add a MIDI file to your PianoGo catalog, without credits and without a subscription. PianoGo adds it as is, with no transcription or analysis.
What is a MIDI file?
A MIDI file describes the notes of a song: it is not a sound recording. It is what lets PianoGo make the notes fall toward the keyboard.
How do I import it?
- Open PianoGo on the website, then the Import a song page.
- Choose the MIDI file source.
- Drag your file into the area provided, or click to choose it. Accepted formats: mid and midi, 2 MB maximum.
- Add the title and the composer, then certify that you hold the rights to the song.
- Click the Add to my catalog button.
The song then appears in your imported songs, with the original file kept.

What if the import fails?
- File too large: above 2 MB, choose a lighter MIDI.
- File rejected: PianoGo says it is not a valid MIDI.
- No notes detected: you can try again in arrangement mode.
What if I don't have a MIDI?
PianoGo can also transcribe a YouTube link, an audio or video file (mp3, wav, m4a, mp4, mov, 200 MB maximum) or your piano playing. A 30-second excerpt is free; a full song costs 1 credit. To find MIDI files: where to find MIDI files.
