M4A is AAC in Apple's favorite outfit: the audio-only MP4 your iPhone speaks natively. An MP4 container holding only audio: usually AAC, occasionally Apple's lossless ALAC.

Born
2003, popularized by Apple's iTunes Store
Type
audio ยท lossy
Typical size

Plays on
iPhone, Mac and iTunes natively; most modern Android and Windows apps too.
Fun fact
Apple invented the .m4a extension purely so audio files wouldn't be mistaken for .mp4 video.

What this M4A converter flips

Two directions, one page. Outbound: turn M4A into MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC or any format a stubborn app insists on: useful because M4A is weak at older Windows software and stubborn car stereos that expect a .mp3. Inbound: turn practically any audio or video file into M4A, which earns its keep at sounding great anywhere in the Apple ecosystem.

Questions people ask

What can I convert M4A to?

Any of Flippy's 40+ output formats: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG and more, plus video containers if a platform insists on video.

Will I lose quality working with M4A here?

M4A is a lossy format, so re-encoding trims a little detail each time. Work from the best source you have and convert once: at sensible bitrates the difference stays inaudible.

Yes: free for everyday use with no daily cap, no signup, and your files delete themselves from our servers within an hour.
