MOV to MKV
Re-encode MOV video to MKV in your browser. Everything runs on your device, so even large files never leave it.
From
MOV (.mov)
To
MKV (.mkv)
Advanced options
Files whose codec MKV already supports are repackaged losslessly and ignore both settings.
- When the source already uses a codec the target container supports, the file is repackaged rather than re-encoded — that is near-instant and completely lossless.
- Otherwise the video is re-encoded using your device's hardware encoder. Large files can take several minutes, so keep this tab open.
- Conversion uses the audio and video codecs built into your browser, so results depend on your device. Unsupported targets are greyed out.

Other MOV conversions
Private by design — no upload, no sign-up
This MOV to MKV converter runs locally, using your own browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so they stay on your device from start to finish.
- Are my MOV files uploaded to a server?
- No. The MOV to MKV conversion runs locally in your browser using your own device's CPU. Your files are never uploaded, never transmitted over the network and never stored on a server.
- Is there a file size limit for MOV to MKV?
- There is no imposed limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical ceiling is your device's available memory, so very large files may be slower on older hardware.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Once the page has loaded, converting MOV to MKV keeps working without a network connection, since the conversion happens entirely on your device.
- Do I need to sign up or install anything?
- No. There is no sign-up, no account and no software to install. Pick a MOV file and convert it to MKV straight away.
- Is converting MOV to MKV free?
- Yes, it is free to use, with no watermarks and no daily quota.
