RM to TTA Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
RealMedia and True Audio exist for different jobs: RM (RealMedia) powered the streaming-web era of the late 90s — countless archived webcasts and lectures are stored as RealAudio/RealVideo streams. Convert TTA to FLAC or MP3 for everyday playback.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the RM format
RealMedia was the streaming web of 1998-2003: RealServer dialing 28.8k modems delivered real-time video through SureStream adaptive bitrate — a decade before HLS. Countless archived lectures, webcasts and early fan content live in .rm files, playable for years only inside RealPlayer.
ffmpeg decodes the RealVideo 1.0/2.0 and Cook audio codecs inside, so archived streams convert to MP4 — the only realistic way to keep that content watchable today.
+ Strengths
- ✓Historic streaming-web archive format
- ✓SureStream adaptive bitrate was ahead of its time
- ✓ffmpeg decodes the common variants
! Limitations
- −Low resolutions by modern standards
- −Newer RV40 streams may not decode
- −RealPlayer itself is discontinued
About the TTA format
TTA (True Audio) is a no-frills real-time lossless compressor: simple 32-bit crypto-free checksums, multi-threadable encoding and IDs at both frame and file level. It filled the lossless niche on slow connections and in Russian archive communities where FLAC arrived late.
Decoding is near-instant and lossless, so converting TTA to FLAC or MP3 costs nothing in fidelity — the audio is identical, the compatibility is finally universal.
+ Strengths
- ✓Real-time speed on modest hardware
- ✓Simple, well-documented container
- ✓Error-tolerant frame structure
! Limitations
- −Compression ratios behind modern codecs
- −Ecosystem largely inactive
- −Tagging support is weak

Think of it as moving your file to the container that fits the job. Low resolutions by modern standards TTA works differently: Real-time speed on modest hardware If any of that sounds like your task, run the conversion — it takes seconds and nothing leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this RM to TTA converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for RM to TTA?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Will the audio track be kept?
Yes. The audio is carried over and re-encoded to the standard audio codec of TTA, staying in sync with the video. If your RM file has multiple audio tracks, the first one is used.
Why is video conversion slower than image conversion?
Every frame has to be decoded and re-encoded. This site runs that work on your own CPU via WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded, but a multi-minute video reasonably takes a few minutes. Images, by comparison, are single-frame jobs.
