MP4 to MKV Converter
Move MP4 video into MKV when you need a more flexible container without changing the content.
This converter is designed as a container change first. When streams are already compatible, it keeps them and rewrites the file as MKV instead of re-encoding.

FAQ
What happens during MP4 to MKV conversion?
The converter tries to keep the existing media streams and rewrite them into an MKV container instead of re-encoding the content.
Are uploaded files kept permanently?
No. Files are kept only for a short time and downloads are served through temporary links.
Can quality or formatting change?
Yes. Each converter page calls out what is preserved, what may be lost, and which settings matter before upload.
