M4A files
Send M4A files without the upload wait
Uncompressed sound is small on screen and huge on disk. Here M4A files go straight from your device to the artist or the studio: a M4A file of 3 – 20 MB starts moving the moment the other side opens your link, and when the share ends nothing is left online.

Why it fits your work
The M4A file arrives untouched
No re-encoding, no resizing, nothing lost on the way — what you send is byte for byte what lands on the other device.
No account on either side
The other side opens a link or types a short code. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for, on a phone as well as a computer.
Nothing sits on a server
Your M4A file is not parked in a data centre waiting to be collected, so there is no copy left behind to leak or expire.
No storage bill
You are not renting space by the month for a file that gets collected once.
Three steps, no waiting

Questions people ask
How big can a M4A file be?
Up to 5 GB in a free share, and no size limit at all on Max.
Is my M4A file re-compressed on the way?
Never. It is handed over exactly as it is — same bytes, same quality, same details inside it.
Does the other side need the same program?
To open the M4A file afterwards, yes — GarageBand, iTunes, iPhone all read it. To receive it, no: a browser is enough.
Do I have to install anything?
No. It works in the browser you already have, on a phone as well as a computer.
