M4A is the container Apple uses for AAC audio. Same codec as AAC, just in a different wrapper. iTunes, Apple Music, and all Apple devices use M4A by default.

What is FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)?

FLAC compresses audio to about half the original size without losing any quality. You can always decode it back to the exact original. Popular for music archiving and audiophile collections.

Are my files private?

Yes. All conversion happens in your browser using WebAssembly. Your audio files never leave your device and aren't uploaded anywhere.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no hard limit, but very large files (over 2 GB total) may be slow or run into browser memory constraints.
