# Convert AAC to M4A

Convert AAC to M4A right in your browser — free, private, nothing is uploaded. One-click re-encode for compatibility.

AAC is the codec behind M4A files, streaming services and much of broadcast audio; as a bare .aac stream it carries the same lossy audio without the MPEG-4 wrapper — and without proper tag support.

M4A wraps AAC audio in an MPEG-4 container — the format iTunes and Apple Music use. AAC squeezes better quality than MP3 out of the same bitrate, at the cost of slightly narrower support.

Converting AAC to M4A is a compatibility move: both formats are lossy, so the goal isn't quality — it's producing a file that fits Apple devices and small high-quality files. Expect the sound to stay essentially the same, with a small second round of encoding loss.
