        About the formats

        M4A (MPEG-4 audio, usually AAC)

        M4A is an MPEG-4 container that almost always holds AAC audio. It is what iPhones record, what Apple Music sells and what most modern devices prefer — AAC beats MP3 noticeably below 128 kbps.

        Best for: Apple devices and modern streaming; convert for older hardware.

        WAV (Waveform Audio File Format)

        WAV stores uncompressed PCM samples: exactly what came off the converter, no encoder in the way. Files are large — roughly 10 MB per minute of CD-quality stereo — but editing, mastering and archiving all want that fidelity.

        Best for: Editing, mastering and any workflow that must not re-compress.

        Frequently asked questions

        Is this M4A to WAV converter free?

        Yes — unlimited, watermark-free and without an account. Conversion runs on your own machine, so there is no per-file cost to pass on.

        Are my M4A files uploaded?

        No. Your browser decodes and re-encodes the audio locally; nothing is transmitted, which matters for voice notes, interviews and unreleased tracks.

        How good is the WAV output?

        WAV is uncompressed PCM, so the output is exactly what the decoder produced — nothing is thrown away. Files are large: roughly 10 MB per minute of CD-quality stereo.

        Can I convert several files at once?

        Yes. Drop a whole batch — each file is processed in turn and the results can be downloaded individually or together as a ZIP.

        Will M4A metadata survive in the WAV file?

        M4A container tags, chapters and attached artwork are not exposed by the browser audio decoder. The WAV writer creates a fresh 16-bit PCM file containing audio samples only, so keep the source if those annotations matter.
