The iPad Audio preset converts Opus files into the ideal format for iPad playback, productivity, and media consumption. iPads do not natively support Opus audio in the Music app, Files app, or most third-party apps, despite iOS having limited Opus decoding capability through WebKit. The iPad Audio preset produces an M4A file with AAC-LC at 256 kbps and 44.1 kHz — Apple's recommended high-quality audio format that integrates perfectly with iPadOS features like Split View, AirPlay, and Apple Pencil note-taking workflows.
Opus powers Discord voice chat, Telegram voice messages, and WebRTC audio in Safari. But when you download or export these recordings, the resulting .opus files do not play reliably in iPad apps. Converting to the iPad Audio preset ensures seamless playback in Apple Music, GarageBand, LumaFusion, Ferrite Recording Studio, and every other iPad audio application.
The iPad serves as a primary content creation device for millions of podcasters, musicians, and video editors. GarageBand for iPad, LumaFusion, and Ferrite Recording Studio all require audio in Apple-compatible formats — AAC, AIFF, WAV, or ALAC. Opus files must be converted before they can be imported into any of these professional iPad apps.
The 256 kbps bitrate is deliberately higher than the Android Audio preset (192 kbps) because iPads are frequently used for content creation where source quality matters. Apple's own guidelines recommend 256 kbps AAC for high-quality audio distribution, and this is the bitrate used by iTunes Store purchases. The M4A container supports full metadata (title, artist, artwork) that displays correctly in iPadOS.
FFmpeg decodes the Opus audio (libopus, typically 48 kHz) and re-encodes to AAC-LC at 256 kbps with 44.1 kHz sample rate in an M4A container. The AAC-LC profile ensures compatibility with all iPadOS versions from iPad 2 onward. The M4A container supports Apple's metadata format including title, artist, album, artwork, and chapter markers.
At 256 kbps AAC, this conversion is perceptually transparent — blind listening tests cannot distinguish the output from the Opus source at typical Opus bitrates (64-256 kbps). The higher bitrate compared to the Android preset provides extra quality headroom for iPad users who are more likely to be using the audio in professional creative workflows.
