MKV to MP4 Converter

Convert an MKV (Matroska) video to MP4 so it plays on phones, TVs, and every video editor — free, in your browser.

Why convert MKV to MP4?

MKV is a fantastic archival container — it can hold almost any codec and any number of audio tracks or subtitles — but that flexibility is exactly why it's the worst guest at most video parties. iOS and many smart TVs refuse to play it; older editing software either rejects it outright or drops tracks silently. MP4 is the safe common denominator.

When the MKV's video and audio codecs are already MP4-compatible (H.264 / H.265 / AAC), we remux: we pop the streams out of the Matroska container and drop them into an MP4 shell untouched. That's lossless and takes seconds. If the codecs aren't compatible, we re-encode with your browser's hardware encoder — still local, still free, no upload.
