Frequently asked questions
Why convert WAV to M4A?
WAV is uncompressed (about 10 MB per minute). M4A/AAC is a fraction of the size at quality that is transparent for listening.
Why does my browser not support this tool?
AAC encoding uses the browser’s AudioEncoder, which Firefox does not expose — this tool needs Chrome, Edge or Safari.
Do I lose quality?
AAC is lossy, but at a high bitrate the difference from the original WAV is difficult to hear. Keep the WAV if you plan to edit.
