How to Convert MKV to MOV Online

Upload your MKV file

Drag and drop your .mkv file onto the page or click to browse. You can select several MKV files at once to batch-convert them.

MOV is preselected

The output format is already set to MOV, so you can convert immediately. If you need to, adjust the codec, resolution, frame rate or bitrate in the settings panel first.

Convert and download

Click Convert. The MOV file is processed on your own device; nothing is uploaded to a server. When it finishes, click Download to save it (or Download all to get a batch as a ZIP).

Why Convert MKV to MOV?

Apple's editors do not import Matroska files, so an MKV episode or recording must be repackaged before it can be cut in Final Cut Pro or iMovie. Converting MKV to MOV keeps the H.264 or HEVC video and AAC audio intact in a container the Mac understands.

You can pick which audio track to keep from a multi-language MKV and drop subtitle tracks that MOV cannot store, all in your browser without installing HandBrake or ffmpeg.

Private by design: your MKV file is converted on your own device and never uploaded.
MOV preselected: the output format is already chosen, so it is a one-click conversion.
Batch friendly: convert several MKV files in one go and download them as a ZIP.
No limits, no watermark: free for files of any size, with nothing stamped on the output.

MKV vs MOV

MKV (Matroska Video): MKV (Matroska) is an open container that can hold practically any codec plus multiple audio tracks, subtitle tracks and chapters, which makes it popular for archiving films and TV episodes. It is best for archiving, multi-language releases and media servers.

MOV (QuickTime File Format): MOV is Apple's QuickTime container. iPhones, iPads and Final Cut Pro record and export MOV natively, and it can hold high-quality H.264, HEVC or ProRes streams. It is best for Apple devices, iMovie and Final Cut Pro workflows.

In short: keep MKV when the priority is archiving, multi-language releases and media servers, and switch to MOV when the file is headed for Apple devices, iMovie and Final Cut Pro workflows. Need a different target? The full Video Converter supports every format listed below.

MKV to MOV FAQ

Is MKV to MOV lossless?

Not bit-for-bit: the video is re-encoded to a MOV-compatible codec, with the source codec and bitrate kept where possible so the result looks the same.

What happens to subtitles?

MOV supports only limited text subtitles. Choose the subtitle track you need, or burn subtitles in with a video editor afterwards.

Is this MKV to MOV converter free?

Yes. Converting MKV to MOV on MediaConverter.io is completely free, with no watermark, no sign-up and no daily conversion limit.

Are my MKV files uploaded to a server?

No. The converter runs inside your browser using WebAssembly and WebCodecs, so your .mkv file is read and converted on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, which keeps private recordings private and means there is no waiting in an upload queue.

Is there a file size limit for MKV to MOV?

No fixed limit. Because processing happens locally, the practical limit is your computer's memory and patience; multi-gigabyte MKV files convert fine on a desktop browser. Very large files take longer on phones.

Will converting MKV to MOV reduce quality?

The video is re-encoded into MOV. Keep the source codec, resolution and bitrate (the defaults) and the result is visually the same as your MKV; lowering the bitrate or resolution is what reduces quality, and you control that trade-off in the settings panel.

Which browsers support the MKV to MOV converter?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop all work. Chrome and Edge are fastest because they expose hardware-accelerated WebCodecs decoders.
