    I see, thanks for the update and the screenshot, Steph333.

     

    I'm afraid that this is a known limitation. Files larger than 100 MB cannot be converted at this time.

     

    Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.

     

    If you need anything else, please let us know.

Hey Steph333, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are you seeing the option to convert an .mp4 file into an .m4a one? Would you mind sending us a screenshot showing this option?

 

Also, how large is the file in question? Is it larger than 100 MB?

 

Let me know and we'll go from there.

I am seeing the option (screenshot attached) and the file is larger than 100 GB.
