    3GP vs M4A

    Only the sound is kept — the picture is dropped, so the M4A file is far smaller than the 3GP video. Phone videos usually carry AAC audio, so in Smart mode the M4A is extracted instantly with zero quality loss.

    About 3GP and M4A

    3GP: 3GP was designed for mobile phones in the 2000s. It keeps files tiny, which makes it perfect for old keypad phones, feature phones and very slow connections.

    M4A: M4A is an MPEG-4 container holding AAC audio. It sounds better than MP3 at the same size and is the default format for iPhone voice memos, Apple Music downloads and many Android recorders.
