How to Convert M4A to OPUS

STEP 1

Click inside the file drop area to upload your M4A file or drag & drop it.

Locate your M4A file on your device—typically used for various purposes. Ensure the file is under 50MB to avoid upload issues. If the upload fails, check your internet connection or try compressing the file first.

STEP 2

Select OPUS as the output format and click the 'Convert' button.

Choose OPUS based on your needs—different formats suit different purposes, like JPEG for smaller file sizes. The conversion process typically takes a few seconds, depending on file size and server load.

STEP 3

Download the converted OPUS file instantly after conversion.

Once the conversion is complete, click the download link to save your OPUS file. You can then open it in software like a compatible viewer. If the file doesn’t download, ensure your browser allows pop-ups from RunConvert.

STEP 4

You can also send a link to the converted file via email. (Optional)

Enter an email address to receive a secure link to your converted file, which is useful for sharing with clients or accessing later. Links expire after 24 hours for security, and RunConvert ensures your data is protected during transmission.

What is M4A (MPEG-4 Audio)?

M4A is an audio file format that uses the MPEG-4 audio codec, commonly associated with Apple's iTunes and iPod devices. It is similar to MP3 but offers better compression and higher audio quality.

M4A files are typically used for storing songs, podcasts, and other audio content. Unlike MP3, M4A files often do not contain the same level of compression, which can result in higher quality audio.

How to open M4A?

M4A files can be opened with Apple's iTunes, QuickTime Player, or Music app on macOS and iOS devices. On Windows, you can open M4A files using iTunes or Windows Media Player if the proper codecs are installed.

For Android users, M4A files can be played with various audio player apps, such as VLC Media Player or other third-party apps that support the format.
