How do I convert an MKV file to MP4 using LetsConvert?

Upload your MKV file, choose MP4 as the output format, select your preferred codec (H.264 or H.265), and click Convert. Depending on your original file, our tool will either remux the streams into an MP4 container or re-encode to ensure compatibility. Download the converted MP4 once the process is complete.

Why should I convert MKV to MP4 instead of keeping MKV?

MP4 is natively supported by almost all devices, including iOS, Android, game consoles, and web browsers, while MKV is a flexible container that often lacks support on these platforms. Converting to MP4 ensures smooth playback without extra software, and can also reduce file size if you choose re-encoding.

What technical attributes are preserved when converting MKV to MP4?

Our converter preserves video resolution, frame rate, and color profile during remuxing. Audio codecs like AC3 or DTS are re-encoded to AAC or left as PCM when possible to maintain playback compatibility. Subtitles and chapters are retained if the MP4 container supports them; otherwise, they are converted to supported formats or omitted. We always keep the original video stream unless re-encoding is necessary for codec compatibility.

Is MKV-TO-MP4 free to use?

Yes, MKV-TO-MP4 on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.

Are my uploaded files safe and secure?

Yes! File privacy and security are guaranteed. Basic conversions run locally in your browser. Files sent for server processing are automatically deleted within 1 hour.

Does this converter work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes! MKV-TO-MP4 works seamlessly across iPhone, Android, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Linux browsers without installing any app.

Is there any software installation required?

No software or browser extension installation is needed. All conversions are performed directly online.
