FAQs

Why won't my TV play MKV files?

Many smart TVs and consoles only support MP4 containers. MKV (Matroska) is an open format with less universal support.

Are subtitles inside MKV preserved?

Soft subtitle tracks may be dropped during container conversion. For subtitled content, consider keeping MKV or burning subtitles first.

Does MKV to MP4 require re-encoding?

Depends on the source codec. MKV files with H.264/H.265 video can usually be remuxed into MP4 — fast and virtually lossless.

Is MKV to MP4 conversion free?

Local conversion is completely free and unlimited. For files over 500MB, use a desktop browser.

How long does it take?

H.264/H.265 MKVs are just remuxed — seconds for a minutes-long video. Re-encoding depends on length and device performance.
