FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between AAC and M4A?

AAC is the audio codec, while M4A is usually just the container that holds AAC data. They sound identical; AAC often comes as a bare .aac file.

Is quality lost during conversion?

Yes, AAC is lossy, so some of the WAV's detail is removed. At higher bitrates, though, the difference is hard to notice.

Are my files uploaded?

No, everything runs locally in your browser by default. For very large files you can optionally switch to a server mode.

What is AAC best suited for?

AAC is the go-to choice for streaming, YouTube and mobile devices because it still sounds very good at low bitrates while saving storage.
