Spec score 7.7 #15 of 32 in Guitar Tab Software

What it is

Frettify converts readable sheet music, lead sheets, PDFs, images, and MusicXML into editable tablature in a browser. It supports guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, and ukulele, then lets users review and edit results before downloading Guitar Pro or PDF files. Guitar Pro files in.gp,.gp3,.gp4,.gp5, and.gpx formats up to 50 MB can also be opened. PDF and image conversion accepts up to 20 pages per upload and charges by page; each Guitar Pro file uses one credit regardless of page count. A browser tab viewer and saved-score library support reopening work. One free credit covers one PDF/image page or one Guitar Pro file, while MusicXML imports require paid credits or a subscription. Supported formats include four-string bass, five-string open-G banjo, standard four-course mandolin, and high-G ukulele. Alternate mandolin tunings and low-G ukulele are not supported. Conversion may contain errors or omissions, and dense piano arrangements may need simplification. Pricing starts at $5/mo.
