What is Video to M4A Extraction?
M4A (MPEG-4 Audio) uses AAC encoding for better quality-to-size ratio than MP3. It's Apple's preferred format and offers superior sound at the same bitrate. Extracting video audio to M4A creates smaller files with better quality than MP3, perfect for iTunes and Apple devices.
Our extractor pulls audio from any video format and saves it as high-quality M4A files for optimal listening on all devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is M4A better than MP3?
Yes. AAC (in M4A) offers better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate. At 256kbps AAC sounds similar to 320kbps MP3, while being smaller. It's the modern successor to MP3.
Will M4A play on all devices?
Most modern devices support M4A/AAC (iPhones, Android, modern MP3 players). Very old devices may only support MP3. For maximum compatibility, use MP3; for quality, use M4A.
Can I use M4A with iTunes?
Absolutely. M4A is iTunes' native format. It integrates perfectly with Apple Music, iTunes libraries, and all Apple devices, preserving metadata and artwork.
How much smaller are M4A files?
At equivalent quality, M4A is 20-30% smaller than MP3. A 320kbps MP3 and a 256kbps M4A sound similar, but the M4A is smaller.
Which should I choose: MP3 or M4A?
Choose M4A for better quality and smaller files, especially if you use Apple devices. Choose MP3 for maximum compatibility with older devices.
Is my video stored?
No. All processing is secure and files are automatically deleted after extraction. We never store or access your content.
