Convert AMR to AAC

File Extension	AMR
Full Name	Adaptive Multi-Rate Compressed Audio Format

AMR file contains audio data in one fo the following format: AMR-NB (lower quality, narrowband) or AMR-WB (higher quality, wideband). Audio data is compressed using dedicated speech encoding algorithm (ACELP).

File Extension	AAC
Full Name	Advanced Audio Coding Format

File with an .AAC extension contains audio data compressed with an advanced method. It is similar to the MP3 files, but it usually contains sound in a better quality, due to more efficient compression algorithms. More often than the ACC extension, for such files the M4A extension is used.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "AMR") to another (referred to as "AAC"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, AMR file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format AMR to format AAC becomes essential.

So, how can we perform AMR to AAC file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format AMR and transforming it into format AAC. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of AMR to AAC converters.

Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the AMR file:

Please indicate on your computer the source file AMR, the format of which you are going to change
Load the AMR file to the application
Select the output format of the AAC file (the one that we want to achieve)
Select the location to save the output file AAC on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
Confirm conversion
Wait for a moment
Enjoy the converted AAC file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
