What is a 3GA file?
3GA is an audio-only 3GPP file. Samsung Galaxy phones and other Android devices save voice recorder and call recordings as .3ga.
3GA is mainly used for Samsung voice and call recordings. It plays on Android phones and VLC; Windows, Mac and iPhone usually do not.

How much does the 3GA converter cost?
Nothing. It is free with no registration, no watermark and no limit on how many files you convert.
Do you keep a copy of my files?

Is 3GA lossy?
Yes, 3GA normally uses lossy compression, which removes detail you are unlikely to notice to keep files small.
