What Tabtify is
Tabtify is a browser-based tool that converts audio, MIDI, live recordings, and public media links into editable guitar, bass, or ukulele tablature. It accepts links from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest, and offers profiles for acoustic and electric guitar, 7-string guitar, bass, and ukulele. In the editor, users can change notes, chords, timing, dynamics, articulations, annotations, lyrics, notation layout, bends, slides, and vibrato. Playback tools allow users to play tabs, loop bars, and compare the result with source media. The editor can open, edit, play, and export Guitar Pro or MIDI files without charge, though a free account is needed to save tabs to a library. MIDI, Guitar Pro (GP5), and alphaTex exports are available on any account; PDF and MusicXML require Pro. Pro plans include unlimited AI conversions, with tracks capped at 15 minutes. Tabtify says cleaner guitar recordings with little competing sound give the best conversion results.
