About this MKV to MP4 tool

MKV (Matroska) is a flexible container that many players don't support. When the video inside is H.264 or HEVC, the tool simply moves it into MP4, which is fast and lossless.

If the MKV contains VP9 or another codec, the video is re-encoded to H.264 automatically. Only the main video and audio tracks are kept; subtitles are not carried over.

How to use MKV to MP4

  1. Choose or drop the MKV file.
  2. Click Convert video.
  3. Download the MP4.
