UNDERSTAND YOUR FILES

M4A vs. WAV: what changes?

Input · M4A

An audio container often holding AAC; the browser must support the specific embedded codec.

Output · WAV

An audio container; this converter exports uncompressed PCM audio which can be much larger than its source.

Uncompressed WAV is widely accepted by audio editors and media workflows, though it is generally much larger than a compressed source. Choosing an output format changes how another app reads the file; it does not restore detail missing from your source.

Why WAV files can be larger

The output is uncompressed PCM audio. The size depends on duration, channel count and sample rate, not on the source format's compression level.

Your files and privacy

Your selected file is converted on your device. You can download the new file while keeping the original unchanged.

Some formats work differently across browsers and devices. Check the converted result before using it for important work. Advertising and other optional website services may have separate privacy practices.

Format compatibility and limitations

The browser must decode this particular m4a file. Decoder availability differs by browser, OS and codec. WAV export does not recover fidelity lost in the source.

Actual output behavior depends on the input file, your browser, device resources and the converter engine. Check important files before sharing or replacing them.
