About MP3 to M4A
MP3 is the format every phone, car stereo and media player opens: lossy, and small at roughly 2.4 MB a minute at 320 kbps. Convert MP3 to M4A for small, good-sounding files that play natively on iPhone, Mac and in Apple Music. Everything runs in your browser, so the files are never uploaded.
Questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, on your device. Your files are never sent to a server, and closing the tab discards everything.
Will converting to M4A lose quality?
M4A is a lossy format, so a little detail is traded for a much smaller file. We use 256 kbps by default, or the source’s own bitrate when it’s lower, so the file is never bigger than it needs to be. You can change the bitrate, sample rate and channels in the settings.
Is there a file size limit?
There’s no set limit. Files are converted on your device, so very large ones depend on its free memory and storage — an hour-long recording converts fine on a recent phone.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like; they convert one after another to M4A, and you can download each one or all of them together.
Which browsers does it work in?
Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop, and Chrome and Safari on phones. Firefox on Android can only convert WAV files. If a file can’t be converted in your browser, its row says so.
