Most DAWs accept M4A, but lossy formats add a decode step. For tracking and mixing, lossless formats keep your session cleaner.
AudioUtils preserves sample rate and channel layout during conversion. Stereo stays stereo. 48kHz stays 48kHz. No silent resampling behind the scenes.
Need to convert stems or bounced tracks? The free tier allows 5 conversions per month with a 10-second preview. Pro users get unlimited, full-length conversions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why extract to M4A instead of MP3?
M4A using AAC delivers better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate and is the native format across Apple devices. If your MOV already contains AAC audio, extracting to M4A avoids re-encoding entirely.
Does this work with iPhone MOV recordings?
Yes. iPhone videos use MOV containers with AAC audio. This tool extracts just the audio track into an M4A file.
How long does extraction take?
Seconds. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly. No upload required.
