PDF download Download Article

The M4A file extension can be very useful, as it can store additional data (such as subtitles or still images) besides your video. It therefore only makes sense that you might want to convert a YouTube video to a M4A file. Many users have even found that the M4A file extension is still able to bypass Apple Music's block of MP3 files obtained via online conversion. No matter why you might need to convert a YouTube video to M4A, we have you covered! Converting videos on YouTube to M4A is easy, and this wikiHow article will guide you through everything you need to know about the process!

Things You Should Know

  • Visit https://www.ukc.com.np/p/youtube-m4a.html to begin converting a YouTube video into an M4A file.
  • Find the YouTube video you want to convert and copy its URL.
  • Paste the URL into the UKC converter and click the green Download Now! button.
  1. Visit https://www.ukc.com.np/p/youtube-m4a.html. UKC.com offers one of the most popular YouTube-to-M4A converters out there. Like most conversion websites, it is completely free. Most importantly, however, this converter still works with music. Many converters detect and block the conversion of music videos to M4A files.
    • Apple and other popular music streamers are constantly working with these sites to prevent the conversion of music into M4A. UKC.com's converter supports music-to-M4A as of this writing, but always test these services before continuing.
  2. Open https://www.youtube.com/ in a separate tab. To convert a YouTube video into M4A, we need to retrieve the video's URL. Open YouTube in a different tab in your browser to get started.

  3. Navigate to the video you want to turn into an M4A file.
  4. Click on your browser's search bar to highlight the video's URL, then copy it to your clipboard.
  5. With the URL copied, return to the UKC.com converter, and paste the URL into the given text field.
    • UKC.com offers conversion into MP3, MP4, and WAV as well. Make sure you are on the appropriate conversion tool before continuing.
  6. Your conversion will begin. M4A files need to be compressed, so the conversion will take a bit longer.
