Convert M4A to MP3

Convert an M4A file to MP3 for easier playback and sharing across apps and devices.

What happens when you convert M4A to MP3?

Most M4A files contain AAC audio. During conversion, the audio is decoded and encoded as MP3 using a high-quality setting.

Converting between two lossy formats can slightly reduce audio quality. For most voice recordings and everyday listening, the difference is unlikely to be noticeable.

MP3 is broadly supported, making the converted file easier to use with media players, editing software, car audio systems, and upload tools that do not accept M4A files.

Convert an iPhone Voice Memo to MP3

Voice Memos recordings exported from an iPhone are saved as M4A files by default. Converting a recording to MP3 can make it easier to share or use with an app or device that does not support M4A.
