Why teams trust this converter
Zero-Trust Ready
Files never leave the tab. WMA binaries live inside WebAssembly memory and are disposed of immediately after producing a M4A output.
Format-Aware Presets
We tune FFmpeg flags so WMA characteristics (color depth, metadata) persist when writing M4A deliverables.
Ops-Level Observability
Each run exposes duration, file size deltas, and CPU hints so production teams can benchmark WMA → M4A workflows.
