M4A to MP3
What to know before you convert
What's inside an M4A?
Usually AAC (lossy), sometimes ALAC (lossless). WebbWAV detects which one you have and shows it before you convert.
Voice memos
Speech sounds great at 128 kbps mono. Set channels to mono under Advanced to halve the file size.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert DRM-protected iTunes songs?
No. Old protected .m4p files can't be converted. Songs bought from iTunes since 2009 are DRM-free M4A and convert fine.
Will I lose quality?
Converting AAC to MP3 re-encodes the audio, so use a high bitrate (256–320 kbps) to keep it practically identical.
Do my files get uploaded?
Usually not. Files up to 100 MB are converted on your own device with WebAssembly, so they never leave it. Larger files, or browsers that can't run the converter, use our servers; those files are deleted automatically after a short time.
What's the maximum file size?
Up to 500 MB per file and 20 files per batch by default. Files up to 100 MB are converted on your device.
