How to convert M4A to MP3
iPhone voice memos and iTunes audio come as M4A. MP3 is accepted by more players, car stereos and upload forms.
- Drop your M4A file into the box above, or add it from a link.
- MP3 is already selected. Use the settings button next to it to change size, quality or other options.
- Select Convert, then download your MP3 file.
To do this from your own code, call the FileForge API with "output_format": "mp3".
Good to know
- Voice memos sound fine at 128 kbps.
- Converting from one lossy format to another loses a little quality; choose a bitrate at least as high as the original.
- Copy-protected iTunes purchases can't be converted.
About the formats
.m4a
M4A is audio stored in an MP4 container, usually AAC. It's what iPhone voice memos, iTunes purchases and many recorders produce.
.mp3
MP3 is the universal audio format: every phone, car stereo, speaker and app plays it. It uses lossy compression, so a 3-minute song is a few megabytes.
