How do I convert M4A to AMR?

Upload your M4A file, select AMR as the output format, and click 'Convert'. If needed, adjust the audio bitrate or sample rate in the settings. After conversion, download your AMR file directly from the results page.

Why should I use AMR instead of M4A?

AMR is a speech-optimized codec used by many old mobile phones and voicemail systems. Converting M4A (which often uses AAC) to AMR reduces file size significantly, especially for voice recordings, while maintaining clear speech. This makes it ideal for phone greetings, voice notes, and embedded applications.

What technical changes occur during M4A to AMR conversion?

The conversion re-encodes audio from AAC (M4A) to adaptive multi-rate (AMR) encoding. Typically, this involves downmixing stereo to mono and lowering the bitrate to 4.75–12.2 kbps. Frequencies above 4 kHz are truncated, sacrificing musical detail but preserving the vocal frequency range. The audio duration remains unchanged.
