Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no limit on how many files you convert.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens locally in your browser, so your audio never leaves your device.
Will converting M4A to MP3 lose quality?
Both are compressed formats, so converting re-encodes the audio. The Converter uses a high bitrate, so the difference is hard to hear — but for archiving, keep your original too.
Can I convert other formats?
Yes — the Converter handles MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WMA, WAV and common video, and outputs MP3 or WAV.
