Files are converted in your browser and never uploaded. By using Anyfile you agree to the Terms of Use.

What changes from 3GA to M4A

Sound qualityNo further loss (what 3GA already left out doesn’t come back)
Tags and cover artTitle, artist, album and cover carried over where M4A holds them; lyrics and some rarer tags aren’t yet
File sizeUsually larger: M4A compresses less tightly than 3GA

When to use M4A: Music on Apple devices, iPhone voice memos and ringtone sources.

Questions

How do I convert 3GA to M4A?

Drop your 3GA file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the M4A downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the audio editor.

Is my 3GA file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Will I lose quality?

M4A is a compressed format, and Anyfile saves at high quality, so the difference is very hard to notice.

Can I convert several 3GA files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every M4A inside.
