What changes when you convert MP4 to M4A?
This conversion removes the picture from the MP4 file and saves its audio track as M4A. Video resolution and frame rate do not carry into the result.
- Add multiple videos, choose the audio output and set a trim range when only part of the track is needed.
- Open the finished M4A file and check fine details, layout and compatibility in the app where you plan to use it.
