How do I reduce M4A file size?
You can reduce m4a file size by setting a specific desired file size or reduce by percentage.
- To reduce M4A below a certain size, enter your desired file size in MB. E.g. 5 MB or 0.5 for 500KB and click "Next".
- To reduce M4A by percentage, click the "By Percentage" tab and enter your desired percentage reduction. E.g. 30 for 30% file size reduction and click "Next".

What is M4A file size reducer?
At ezyZip, we offer an advanced compression feature that allows you to reduce the size of your M4A files either by setting a specific target file size or by selecting a percentage reduction. This functionality is perfect for tailoring M4A files to meet various requirements or limitations. Whether you need to comply with size constraints for uploads and emails, or simply want to save disk space, you can easily customize the compression to fit your needs.
Will sound quality be impacted when I reduce M4A file size?
Yes, reducing the size of an audio file will likely impact the audio quality. M4A files use a audio compression algorithm that discards certain parts of the audio data to decrease file size—a process known as "lossy" compression. When you further reduce the audio bitrate, the compression becomes more aggressive, which means more audio information is removed. This generally results in a decrease in sound quality, characterized by a reduction in clarity, depth, and fidelity. The extent of quality loss depends on your desired output file size and the specific compression settings used during the conversion process.
The ezyZip audio compressor will select optimal audio bitrate and codec to ensure it closely matches original quality.
Once the compression process is complete, ezyZip offers a feature to "preview" the audio file before saving to see if it meets your quality requirements.
