How to convert MKV to MP4

Choose the MKV

Drop or select the .mkv file.

Use Fast mode

It's preselected: the video and audio are copied into an MP4 without re-encoding.

Convert

Remuxing is quick even for large recordings, because nothing is re-encoded.

Download

Play the MP4 in the page, then download it.

Why MKV needs converting

MKV (Matroska) is popular for recordings because a crash or power cut doesn't corrupt the whole file, which is why OBS Studio users often record to MKV. But many editors, phones, social sites and upload forms only accept MP4.

MKV recordings usually already contain H.264 or HEVC video with AAC audio, which MP4 supports, so no re-encoding is needed: Fast mode copies the streams into an MP4 losslessly. MKV can also hold several audio tracks and subtitles; the MP4 keeps the first video and first audio track.

What happens to your MKV

Fast mode reads the MKV and writes the same video and audio streams into an MP4 container, with the index at the start so it plays immediately. Quality is bit-for-bit identical.

If the MKV contains codecs MP4 players don't support, such as VP9 video or FLAC and Opus audio, Fast mode may produce a file that won't play. Switch to Maximum compatibility to re-encode to H.264 and AAC.

Features

Up to 500 MB on a computer in Fast mode.

Editor-ready

MP4 opens in Premiere, iMovie, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut and phone galleries.

Private

Recordings are remuxed on your device; nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Is my video uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser with a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg. The video is read from your device and the MP4 is saved back to it.

Does converting MKV to MP4 lose quality?

Not in Fast mode. It copies the existing streams into the MP4 container without re-encoding, so quality is identical.

What happens to extra audio tracks and subtitles?

The first video and first audio track are kept. Additional audio tracks and subtitle tracks are not copied.

What is the difference between Fast and Maximum compatibility?

Fast copies the existing video and audio into an MP4 without re-encoding, so it takes seconds, keeps the exact quality and handles files up to 500 MB on a computer. Maximum compatibility re-encodes to H.264 and AAC, which play everywhere, but it is slower and works for videos up to 120 MB and 10 minutes on a computer.

How large a video can I convert?

Fast mode handles up to 500 MB on a computer and 250 MB on a phone. Maximum compatibility re-encodes every frame in the browser, so it is limited to 120 MB and 10 minutes on a computer, or 60 MB and 5 minutes on a phone. Trim longer videos first.

Is this the same as OBS's Remux Recordings?

It does the same job, a lossless container change, without needing OBS installed on the computer you're using.
