FAQ
My M4V will not convert — what is wrong?
Almost certainly FairPlay DRM, which iTunes Store purchases and rentals carry. Encrypted files cannot be decoded by anything that respects the encryption. Files you made yourself convert normally.
How is M4V different from MP4?
Barely. It is the same container with an Apple extension, used to signal iTunes content. Unprotected M4V behaves exactly like MP4 here.
Will the audio quality drop?
A little. The AAC track is re-encoded to MP3, which is a second lossy pass. At the default 192 kbps it is not audible on ordinary equipment.
Can I extract audio from an iTunes film for personal use?
Not with this converter. Whether personal use is permitted where you live is a legal question, but the technical answer is that the file is encrypted and nothing here will decrypt it.
How long does it take?
Seconds. The video is discarded rather than decoded, so even a feature-length file gives up its audio quickly.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything runs in this page, which is the point for home video and anything else personal.
Is it really free?
Yes — every conversion on this site, with no account, no watermark and no daily cap. The work happens on your own device, so there is no server bill for us to pass on to you.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in any modern browser, on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. There is nothing to download and nothing to sign up for, and once the page has loaded it keeps working with the network switched off.
