How do I convert MP4 to AAC with LetsConvert?

Upload or drag your MP4 video onto the converter, select AAC as the output format, and choose your preferred bitrate (e.g., 256 kbps). Click Convert, wait for the audio track to be extracted and encoded, then download the resulting .aac file. You can repeat this for multiple files.

Why would I convert an MP4 file to AAC audio?

MP4 is a video container; AAC is a lossy audio codec. Converting MP4 to AAC isolates the audio track, making it ideal for music libraries, sound design, podcast editing, and portable devices. It also cuts file size by removing video data while preserving high-fidelity audio at lower bitrates, especially compared to MP3.

Does MP4 to AAC conversion preserve audio quality and metadata?

If your MP4's audio is already AAC, we stream-copy it without re-encoding, so there's zero quality loss. For other codecs like MP3 or PCM, we re-encode to AAC at the selected bitrate, which may slightly alter samples but maintains original sample rate and channel layout. Album art, title, and track metadata are preserved, but video, subtitles, and chapters are discarded in the AAC output.
