What is MP4 to MKV?

Convert MP4 videos to MKV format to take advantage of MKV's superior container features.

How It Works

Upload your MP4 file, click Convert, and download the MKV output. Streams are remuxed without re-encoding.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Upload your MP4

    Drop an .mp4 file onto the upload area.

  2. 2

    Convert

    Click "Convert to MKV". FFmpeg remuxes the MP4 into the MKV container without re-encoding the video stream.

  3. 3

    Download

    Save the MKV file. MKV supports multiple audio tracks, subtitles, and chapters that MP4 may not.

Who Uses This Tool

🗂️

Multiple Subtitle Tracks

Convert MP4 to MKV to embed multiple subtitle languages in a single file — MP4 has limited subtitle support.

🔊

Multiple Audio Tracks

MKV supports multiple audio streams (e.g. original + dubbed) in one file — ideal for multilingual content.

🏠

Plex & Jellyfin Server

Home media servers like Plex and Jellyfin prefer MKV for its richer metadata and multi-track support.

📺

Kodi & HTPC

Kodi and home theater PC setups benefit from MKV's chapter markers and metadata over plain MP4.

🗄️

Video Archiving

MKV is an open, patent-free container — ideal for long-term video archiving without licensing concerns.

📖

Chapter Markers

Add chapter points to your video that MP4 can't cleanly support — MKV handles chapters natively.
