SGF to Music Video

Turn Go game records into music videos and customizable PNG postcards in your browser.

SGF to Music Video

SGF to Music Video turns a Go/Baduk/Weiqi game record into a musical board animation. Moves create deterministic notes, so the same game and music settings produce the same melody. Your SGF, board rendering, audio, and video recording stay in your browser.

Make a music video ยท Create SGF Postcards

Give your game a soundtrack

Load or paste an SGF, preview any move, and choose instruments, pace, mood, and board appearance. Simple mode offers a quick starting point; Complex mode adds control over musical mapping, board regions, move ranges, phrasing, and sustained layers.

Export the whole game or a selected clip as a WebM video with audio. Clip exports retain the preceding board position and musical context. Customize colors, stones, coordinates, move numbers, framing, and game details before recording. Chromium-based browsers are recommended for video export.

Optional on-device KataGo estimates add win-rate graphs, ownership shading, and predicted dead-stone marks. The engine and model load only when requested. These are neural estimates rather than a full tree search or final score.

SGF Postcards

The standalone postcard editor makes a full-board image and a close-up from your game. Choose a position, style the board and typography, edit its caption, and export PNGs separately or together in a ZIP.

Postcards supports captures, setup stones, passes, rectangular boards, and variations. Results come from the SGF or your edited details; it does not estimate territory. Style settings can be remembered locally, while game files and player details are not saved by the postcard tool.
