Convert M4A to WAV in seconds, free and entirely in your browser. M4A is AAC audio in an MP4 container; WAV is uncompressed PCM audio — lossless, but large. Transcodr runs real ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your file is processed on your own device and never uploaded.

M4A → WAV questions
Is the M4A to WAV converter free?
Yes. Transcodr is free with no accounts, watermarks, or hard limits beyond your device's available memory.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs locally via ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, so your M4A file never leaves the browser tab.
What quality is the WAV output?
WAV — PCM 16-bit — a lossless result, so no audio quality is lost (files are larger).
How do I convert M4A to WAV?
Drop your M4A file above (or click Browse) — the output is already preset to WAV — then click Convert and download the result.
01 / Engine
Real ffmpeg, compiled to WebAssembly.
Same library Netflix, YouTube, and basically every command-line video tool relies on, running in a Web Worker. Pipe a file in, run a command, pipe bytes back out.
02 / Privacy
Nothing leaves the tab.
No uploads, no accounts, no telemetry beyond an anonymous pageview. We couldn’t see your files if we wanted to — there’s no server in the loop.
03 / Limits
It is, after all, a tab.
Files up to a few hundred megabytes convert comfortably. Beyond that, your browser starts asking pointed questions. Use the desktop ffmpeg for 4K masters.
