How to convert M4A to WAV
- Drop your M4A files into the box or choose them. You can convert several at once.
- WAV is already selected. Each file is decoded and saved as uncompressed audio.
- Download each WAV, or all of them together as a zip.
Why convert M4A to WAV
M4A is compact and plays well on Apple devices, but many audio editors, samplers, DJ and broadcast tools and transcription services want WAV. WAV is the plain uncompressed format that almost every audio program can open and edit without decoding first.
Before you convert
If you only want the file to play on more devices, M4A to MP3 gives a much smaller file. Choose WAV when you’ll edit, mix or process the audio, or when a program or service asks for WAV. iPhone voice memos are a common case: save them to Files or send them to your computer, then drop them here.
