Questions

About converting M4A to WAV.

How large will the WAV file be?

WAV is uncompressed, so a minute of stereo audio at CD quality takes about 10 MB. The sample rate of your M4A stays the same, and the WAV is 24-bit when the source has more than 16 bits, otherwise 16-bit.

Does WAV improve the sound of my M4A?

No. WAV keeps exactly what is in the M4A without further loss, which is why editors prefer it.

Will the WAV file have a watermark?

No. Converted files never get a watermark, free conversions included.

What happens to my files after the conversion?

Your files are processed on servers in the EU and deleted automatically after 24 hours.
