- Why convert MKV to MP4?
- MP4 is the most widely supported video format. While MKV is great for storing multiple tracks, MP4 works everywhere — phones, social media, video players, and web browsers.
- Is the conversion fast?
- Yes. For compatible codecs (H.264/AAC), the converter uses stream copy which is nearly instant. Re-encoding is only needed when changing quality settings.
- Will subtitles be preserved?
- MP4 has limited subtitle support compared to MKV. Embedded subtitle tracks may not carry over. For subtitles, consider using our AI Subtitles tool to burn them into the video.
