How to convert MP4 to MKA
- Add your .MP4 file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .MKA in a few seconds.
- Download your new .MKA file.
What to expect
- The video is dropped entirely; only the audio survives.
- Audio can be copied losslessly when the codec is kept, but re-encoding to a different codec re-compresses it.
- MKA is less widely supported than MP3, so expect to fall back to VLC on many devices.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting MP4 to MKA keep the video?
No.
MKA is the audio-only version of Matroska, so only the audio track (or tracks) is carried over and the video picture is discarded.Why convert an MP4 to MKA?
To keep just the soundtrack in a royalty-free, open container that can hold multiple audio tracks, chapters, cover art and metadata in one file.
Will the audio quality change?
If the MP4's audio stream is copied into the MKA without re-encoding, the sound is bit-for-bit identical; only a full re-encode to a different codec would be lossy.
Where will an MKA file play?
VLC plays MKA on every desktop and mobile platform, but many phones, car stereos and basic players don't recognize it, so a plain MP3 or FLAC is often more portable.
