How to convert MP3 to M4A

1

Upload the MP3

Choose a .mp3 file from your phone or computer.

2

Encode AAC at 192 kbps

The result is an M4A with AAC audio at 192 kbps. This page does not offer another bitrate.

3

Download the M4A

Save the M4A when the conversion finishes.

Why convert MP3 to M4A

iPhones and some Apple apps prefer M4A. This page re-encodes the MP3 as AAC inside an M4A at 192 kbps. It does not add detail the MP3 did not have, and it does not unlock DRM.

What this page converts

Apple players

An M4A opens in players that ask for AAC instead of MP3.

Fixed 192 kbps

Every file from this page is AAC at 192 kbps. There is no other step.

Voice and music

Both work. The result cannot be clearer than the MP3 you uploaded.

Deleted afterward

The upload and the result are removed from the server when the job ends.

Why use this converter

Quality notes

Both MP3 and AAC are lossy. Re-encoding once more can sound a little softer. 192 kbps AAC is the only output here. For another bitrate, use the main audio converter.

The file may be over 80 MB or 60 minutes, protected, or not a real media file. Try another file.
