How to convert Video to M4A
Upload your video
Drag and drop a Video file, or click to browse. Up to 500 MB, and nothing is installed.
Confirm M4A as the output
M4A is already selected for your Video. Switch between MP3 and WAV if you change your mind.
Convert and download
We convert the Video on our servers, usually in under a minute. Create a free account to download the M4A, or keep editing it in REQO.
Why convert Video to M4A?
Start from whatever you already have: MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV and the rest all go in the same way.
Every source format has its own quirks, which is exactly why converting to one standard format is simpler.
M4A solves that. Better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate, and native on Apple devices.

Video to M4A questions
Is the Video to M4A converter free?
Yes. Convert and preview the result for free, then create a free account to download it. There is no per-file charge and no watermark on the M4A itself beyond the free-plan badge.
Do I need to install any software?
No. The conversion runs on our servers and the whole flow happens in your browser, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and Android. Nothing to install at either end. Where Video plays: Varies by format. Where the M4A you get back plays: Apple devices natively, most others too.
Does converting Video to M4A reduce the quality?
The audio is decoded from the video and written as M4A. MP3 is a lossy format, so there is a small re-encode, inaudible for speech at the default quality. The picture is discarded entirely, which is why the file gets so much smaller.
How large a file can I convert?
Up to 500 MB per file, which is more footage in some formats than others. Video: Varies by format. M4A coming back: Slightly smaller than MP3 at the same quality. For anything bigger, trim or compress it first, both are free tools here.
Is my file kept private?
Your upload is processed and then held only as long as your project needs it. Nothing is published, indexed or shared unless you create a share link yourself.
