My iTunes library sounds so much better now
Converted my whole MP3 collection to M4A using PDF Paw. The files are smaller and the audio quality is noticeably cleaner. Should've done this years ago.

Fast and works perfectly with iPhone
Needed M4A files for my iPhone and had everything in MP3. PDF Paw converted them all in minutes and they synced to my phone without any issues. Brilliant.

No sign-up, no watermark, just the file
Tried a couple of other converters first — both wanted accounts. PDF Paw just converted my MP3 and let me download the M4A. Clean, fast, no drama.

Why People Pick Our Audio & Video Tools

Better Quality Than MP3

M4A uses AAC encoding which delivers better audio quality than MP3 at the same — or even smaller — file size. PDF Paw converts your MP3 to M4A so you get a genuine upgrade.

Perfect for Apple Devices

M4A is Apple's native audio format — it works seamlessly with iPhone, iPad, Mac, iTunes, and Apple Music. PDF Paw converts your MP3 so it fits right into the Apple ecosystem.

Smaller Files, Same Great Sound

M4A files are more efficient than MP3 — you get better audio in less storage space. PDF Paw converts your tracks so your library takes up less room without sounding worse.

Batch Convert Your Library

Got a whole music collection to upgrade? PDF Paw lets you queue up multiple MP3 files and convert them back to back. No repetitive uploading, no wasted time.

Transcribe It First

Need a text version of your audio before converting? Run your MP3 through PDF Paw AI transcription first, then convert to M4A. Full workflow, one platform.

Encrypted & Auto-Deleted

Your MP3 is locked with encryption on upload and wiped from PDF Paw servers the second your M4A is ready. Zero data stored, zero risk.
