Convert MKV to WebM

Upload an MKV file and convert it to WebM. When the codecs already fit the target container, the conversion is lossless and near-instant; otherwise the video is re-encoded.

Two open containers, one conversion

WebM is technically a constrained Matroska, but it admits only VP8, VP9, and AV1 video with Opus or Vorbis audio. MKVs holding those codecs convert by lossless copy; the common H.264 variety is re-encoded to fit, at high quality.

Frequently asked questions

When is this conversion instant?

When your MKV already contains WebM-legal codecs like VP9 and Opus, the streams are copied straight across.

Why pick WebM over MKV for the web?

Browsers play WebM natively in the video tag; MKV they do not. Same family, different table manners.
