M4A vs WMA at a glance
M4A is AAC audio in an MPEG-4 container — the format used by iTunes and Apple Music, same quality as AAC with slightly better metadata support. WMA is Microsoft's proprietary audio format for Windows Media Player — rarely supported outside Windows, and most phones, apps and streaming platforms can't play it at all.

M4A to WMA — frequently asked questions
Is this M4A to WMA converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits.
Will I lose quality converting to WMA?
WMA uses lossy compression, so the image is re-encoded at high quality (92%). For photos the difference is practically invisible; for text-heavy graphics or logos, a lossless format like PNG preserves sharp edges better.
Is the conversion private?
Audio conversion runs on our servers with ffmpeg — your file is deleted immediately and never stored.
