TEF scores often need to be displayed on websites or included in documents that support scalable graphics. Converting one to SVG keeps the notation sharp when resized, but produces a visual score rather than an editable musical interchange file.
What the TEF format is
TEF is TablEdit’s native file format for musical scores, especially tablature for guitar, bass, banjo, and other fretted instruments. A TEF file can contain tablature, standard notation, chord diagrams, lyrics, and performance information. TablEdit creates and edits these files; you may also encounter them as tablature shared by musicians.
What the SVG format is
SVG is a vector-graphics format. A score exported as SVG can be enlarged or reduced without the pixelation associated with a bitmap image, and can be displayed by modern browsers or placed in many page-layout and graphics applications. SVG represents the printed appearance of the score, not its playable notes or timing data.
How to convert TEF to SVG
Online on 101convert.com
- Open the TEF-to-SVG converter page on 101convert.com and upload your TEF file. The page shows the per-file size limit.
- Choose SVG as the output format and start the conversion. The conversion runs on the site’s server with MuseScore.
- Download the resulting SVG file. The converter supports batch conversion if you have several files.
Offline with desktop software
MuseScore is free, open-source desktop software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the TEF file with File → Open, check that the imported score looks correct, then use File → Export and select SVG as the format. For a score with multiple pages, MuseScore may export a separate SVG for each page.
Quality and limitations
Check tablature, note positions, page breaks, and text after import; notation details can shift if the source uses features the importer handles differently. SVG preserves the rendered layout, but does not retain TEF-specific editing or playback data. Keep the original TEF if you may need to revise the score.
