About this conversion
Only the audio encoding changes: the recording is decoded and encoded again in your browser.
A AIFF file is usually larger than the M4A original; choose it for compatibility or editing rather than size.
Good to know
The file usually becomes larger.
Quality does not improve; artifacts of the source stay.
The sound is stored uncompressed at 16 bits per sample, which is CD quality.
How it works
The audio is converted by ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. It loads only when you choose a file and runs in a background thread.
Your browser can
- Built-in image codecs
- Hardware video (WebCodecs)
- Multiple threads
- Create AVIF natively
If something is missing, the conversion takes a little longer but still works.

Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with local code. Your files never leave your device, and there is no upload.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no limit on our side, but your browser memory is. Images work for very large files; for videos, files above a few hundred megabytes can fail on devices with little memory.
Will the quality suffer?
That depends on the target format and settings. Use the quality option to balance size and detail; lossless targets keep everything the source contained.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Fast hardware paths are used where available, with a compatible fallback otherwise.
