FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does converting improve quality?

No. Both MP3 and M4A are lossy, and converting between two lossy formats can even shed a tiny bit more quality. A genuine improvement isn't possible.

So why switch from MP3 to M4A?

Usually for compatibility: M4A slots neatly into iTunes, Apple Music and the iOS library, where M4A is often preferred.

Are my files uploaded?

No, everything runs locally in your browser by default. For very large files there is an optional server mode.

Does the file size change much?

The size stays in a similar range since both formats compress well. Depending on the bitrate, the M4A may end up slightly smaller or larger.
