M4A is an AAC-based audio format common on Apple devices and iTunes — better quality than MP3 at the same size.

No. Audio and images are fundamentally different, so there's nothing to convert. You can convert your M4A to MP3, WAV or AAC instead.
Maybe a waveform/album-art image, or adding this audio to a video — those are separate tools, not a M4A→ART conversion.
M4A converts cleanly to MP3, WAV or AAC — free, no sign-up, no watermark.
