WHY CONVERT
Why convert AIFF to MPG
02
Acceptance by downstream tools
MPG is the format most receiving systems expect for this kind of content. Converting upstream avoids the rejection and silent re-encoding that often happen when AIFF reaches an unprepared pipeline.
03
Lower storage and bandwidth cost
MPG files are typically smaller than their AIFF counterparts, which reduces hosting, transfer, and storage costs at scale. The savings compound when serving the same content to many recipients.

There's no fixed cap — the practical limit is your device's available memory. Very large files may take longer or fail on low-RAM devices.
Does it work offline?
