Free, no app, no sign-up

Licence and source

This M4A to MP3 converter saves an M4A file, such as a voice memo or a song, as an MP3, which nearly every player and car stereo opens. Pick the file and you get an MP3 at 192 kbps. Choose 128 kbps for a smaller file of a talk or voice note, or 320 kbps for music, and the page converts it again. Your file never leaves your device. For other formats, use the audio converter.

Questions

Is the M4A to MP3 converter free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, in Chrome on Android and Safari on iPhone: pick the M4A from your phone and save the MP3. If your browser can't play a file's sound, the page says so as soon as you pick it.

Will the quality drop?

A little. M4A and MP3 are both compressed, so the MP3 is a second compressed copy of the sound. Pick 320 kbps to keep the most; 192 kbps, which the page starts on, is right for most music and speech.

Is there a size limit?

No limit is set. The MP3 takes about 1.4 MB a minute at 192 kbps and about 2.3 MB at 320 kbps. Very long files, such as an audiobook or a whole day's recording, can be more than some phones can handle, so use a computer for those.
