Limits

  • Free, with or without an account: files up to 500 MB, 3 at a time.
  • With Pro: files up to 2 GB, 30 at a time.
  • Big files are read from your disk as they're processed, so they don't need to fit in memory, but a phone takes longer than a computer.

M4A to MP3: common questions

Is this M4A to MP3 converter free?
Yes. Files up to 500 MB convert free, without an account and without a watermark. Pro raises the limit to 2 GB a file and converts up to 30 files at a time.
Will converting M4A to MP3 lose quality?
A little, because both are compressed formats. At Standard or 320 kbps you won't hear it in normal listening. Keep the M4A if you might edit it later.
How do I convert an iPhone voice memo?
In Voice Memos, tap the recording, then Share and Save to Files. Open this page, choose the file from Files, and convert it.
Is my audio uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so the audio stays on your device and never reaches our server. Once the page has loaded it keeps working if your connection drops.
Why does the first conversion take a few seconds to start?
The converter is a copy of FFmpeg that runs in your browser. It's about 31 MB, so it downloads the first time you use it and your browser keeps it for next time.
