AMR
AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is a lossy audio codec optimized for speech. It is used for voice calls, voice memos, and recordings on many mobile phones because it keeps files very small. Music sounds poor in AMR, and many players do not support it, so AMR is often converted to MP3.
AAC
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a lossy audio codec designed as the successor to MP3. At the same bitrate it usually sounds better than MP3, and it is the standard audio format for Apple devices, YouTube, streaming services, and MP4 video. AAC audio is often stored in M4A or MP4 files.
What happens when AMR becomes AAC
Source format
AMR is a speech-focused lossy codec commonly found in older phone recordings.
Target format
AAC is a lossy audio codec that is efficient at moderate bitrates.
What changes
Audio samples are decoded from AMR and encoded according to the AAC format and selected bitrate or quality.
- What is preserved
- Duration and audible content are preserved, subject to decoder support and any settings you change.
- What may be lost
- Tags, embedded artwork, chapters, and codec-specific metadata may not map to AAC.
- Codec and quality implications
- AAC uses lossy compression. A higher quality or bitrate can reduce new artifacts, but it cannot restore detail already missing from the AMR source.
- Realistic limitations
- Protected audio, malformed headers, unsupported codec variants, or files without a decodable audio stream cannot be converted.
Conversion steps
- Upload a AMR file no larger than 1 GB.
- Confirm that AAC is selected as the target.
- Start the conversion. A healthy compatible worker begins processing immediately.
- Download the AAC file and check the result before deleting your source.
Troubleshooting
- The AMR file is rejected or will not open.
- Confirm that the file is not empty, password-protected, or corrupt and that its real format matches the extension.
- The AAC file is larger than expected.
- Choose a more efficient codec or lower quality setting when available. Lossless and uncompressed targets are often larger by design.
- The result has no sound or will not play.
- Try a broadly supported target codec and verify that the source contains a decodable audio stream.
Privacy and file retention
Uploads and converted files are processed automatically and irreversibly deleted within 24 hours. You can delete them sooner with the delete control. Convertr does not read, mine, sell, or manually review file contents.
