That's why I always prefer an offline converter. Also if your upload a file somewhere the website can save it for their own purpose alhough they say they won't do it.
Which offline converter? I find myself often trying to convert:
etc. I have no idea how to do that but if I type it into a search engine there's usually tools there.
You could try Permute. It's a pretty simple app for converting video and audio. Permute is my go-to for quick video conversion.
DBPowerAmp has an easy-to-use audio converter that supports pretty much every audio format and does batch file conversion as well. DBPowerAmp is my go-to for audio conversion.
Both of these are paid apps.
Thanks, I'll check those out.
