Why do audio editors and submission forms require MP3 instead of M4A?

MP3 is the universal standard for digital audio since the 1990s. Many older audio editing programs, podcast distribution feeds, transcription tools, and Windows media players do not support Apple's M4A container.

How do I get my Voice Memo file onto PullDL from an iPhone?

Inside the Voice Memos app, tap your recording, tap the circle with three dots (…), tap 'Share', then tap 'Save to Files'. Next, open Safari, visit PullDL, and tap 'Choose File' to pick it from your Files app.

Are my confidential voice recordings uploaded to your servers?

No. PullDL performs the entire audio transcoding client-side in your device memory using WebAssembly. Your personal voice notes and interviews are never uploaded to any server.

What audio bitrate is used for the converted MP3?

PullDL encodes MP3s at up to 320 kbps high fidelity, preserving natural speech clarity, ambient acoustics, and vocal nuances.
