How to Save GarageBand as MP3/WAV on iPhone iPad

The iOS version of GarageBand only allows you to save the project as m4a format, which is troublesome if you are in the mood to share the music to a friend. To save GarageBand file as MP3, there are two practical methods.

Method 1. GarageBand + Files App + Document App

Apple imposes the sandbox constrains on each App, making iOS a secure yet relatively closed system, comparing to Android. Luckily, Apple introduced the Files App in 2017, a central file management system that improves the process to exchange files between Apps.

Yet the Files app alone is not enough for our task. Here is the plan: we need to export the m4a file to Files, and open it in the Document app, then using the built-in browser to convert m4a to mp3 and download it. Let's break it down to detailed steps with pictorial instructions:

Garageband

Step 1. Create a dedicated folder for GarageBand in Files app.

  • Although you can select any folder in Files to store your GarageBand exports, creating a new folder makes it much easier to manage files.
  • Make sure you are storing the file On My iPhone instead of on iCloud Drive.

Step 2. Click the three dot icon and hit Select.

Step 3. Tap the song you are going to share, and click the share icon at bottom left. Choose to share it as a song.

Step 4. Tap Open In… and select Document by Readdle app.

Step 5. Use the built in browser in the Document app, and visit online converter such as convertio.co

Step 6. Upload the m4a file and download it as mp3, wav, aac and any other format you like.

Method 2. Access iOS GarageBand Files from a Computer

Bonus Tips: Fix GarageBand Won't Import MP3 Problem

Besides turning GarageBand into mp3, there are chances that you find it buggy to load mp3 files. It's quite annoying when you have fantastic background music, yet GarageBand refuse to load or change the speed of the original song. Here are three fixes to try.

#1 Change File Extension to Lower Case

GarageBand might have problem importing a file with the extension in upper case 'MP3'. For instance, audio recorded in Surface Pro or from the Olympus LS-10 tend to use MP3. Change it to lower case 'mp3'.

#2 Keep an Eye on the Sample Rate and Bit Depth

GarageBand has better support for audio files with a sample of 44.1 kilohertz (kHz) and a bit depth of 16 bits. If your file has higher parameters, there might be playback speed issue or failure to import.

#3. Convert to Apple Compatible AIFF
