How to convert MP3 to M4A

Open an MP3, or many at once, and save each one as an M4A with AAC sound, the format Apple Music, iTunes, and iPhones use. The MP3 to M4A converter runs in your browser, so your music stays on your device.

  1. Step 1

    Choose your MP3 files
    Pick one or many, or drop them into the converter above.
  2. Step 2

    Keep M4A
    M4A is selected; choose another audio format if you need one.
  3. Step 3

    Download the M4A
    Save each file when it's converted.

What to expect

Supported inputs
MP3 files and any other audio or video file.
What happens
The sound is re-encoded as AAC in an M4A file. M4A is selected first; you can choose another audio format.
Limits
Firefox has no AAC encoder, so there the M4A holds MP3 sound; use Chrome, Edge, or Safari for AAC.

Questions

No. It's encoded again, so detail the MP3 left out doesn't come back. Convert when an app needs M4A.

Use MP3 to M4R, which saves the same AAC sound with the ending iPhones need for ringtones.
