M4A to MP3

M4A is the format of iPhone voice memos and many Apple files, and some cars, players and apps only accept MP3. Here it becomes an MP3 that plays anywhere, in seconds and right on your device.

100% safe and privateYour files are not sent to any server.

When to convert M4A to MP3

  • iPhone voice memos

    Memos are saved as M4A; as MP3 they open on Windows, Android and any player.

  • Car stereos and old players

    Many of them read MP3 but not M4A.

  • Editing apps and websites

    Some editors and upload forms accept only MP3.

  • Sending to someone on Android or Windows

    MP3 opens with a tap, without asking for another app.

Common questions

Does converting M4A to MP3 lose quality?

M4A is already compressed, so the sound is saved again at 192 kbps. It usually sounds the same. To avoid any further loss, pick WAV or FLAC.

Can I convert iPhone voice memos?

Yes. In the Voice Memos app, share the memo to Files, then choose it here. The MP3 is saved to your downloads.

Do songs bought on iTunes work?

Songs bought without copy protection (.m4a) work. Older protected files (.m4p) do not open.

Is it free? Is there a limit?

It is free, with no account and no limit on the number of files. Very long files take longer, especially on a phone.

Is my M4A file uploaded?

No. The conversion happens in your own browser, and your file is not sent to any server.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in an up-to-date browser such as Safari or Chrome. The file is saved to your downloads.
