Why Convert MP4 to M4A?

Converting MP4 to M4A is a common task whenever a file has to work somewhere that expects the other format. MP4 is the world's most widely supported video container format. M4A is Apple's container format for AAC-encoded audio. This converter makes the switch locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Common use cases
