About the Media Converter App

Media Converter is a free, popular mobile app that converts video and audio files on your iPhone. Unlike some media conversion tools, Media Converter doesn’t insert watermarks and it doesn’t limit the audio length to, say, only five-minute files. You can convert more than an hour of recorded M4A audio to MP3, hassle-free.

Also, don’t worry if you have painstakingly applied tips to get quality audio recordings on your iPhone, because the converted file will retain the same clear sound quality.
