Convert MPG Files to MKV on Your Device

Make a MKV copy of MPG in your browser for multi-platform libraries. Conversion stays on-device while a new MKV file is prepared.

Preview (optional)

When your browser supports it, your video appears here. If preview does not load, you can still convert your file normally.

Use upload name

Adapt legacy playback and authoring to a workflow built for multi-platform libraries
Supply MKV when an editor, player, or delivery form will not accept MPG
Create a MKV copy from MPG for flexible media libraries and archives

On-device encoding can work the processor harder than ordinary playback during this MPG-to-MKV job.
Available memory can limit very large MPG conversion jobs.
Inspect the MKV file in the exact player or editor that will receive it.

MKV serves flexible media libraries and archives, whereas MPG commonly serves older Windows players and disc tools.
For MPG-to-MKV delivery, plan for rejection by some TVs and upload forms.
After leaving MPG, the receiving app must support the streams encoded inside MKV, not only its extension.

MPG to MKV taking too long? Try a small source first to separate a performance issue from a format issue.
MKV converted from MPG not opening? Test a compatible player and inspect the output streams.
Check whether the receiver supports this MKV variant: rejection by some TVs and upload forms.

When does MPG to MKV conversion make sense?

It is useful when MPG media created for legacy playback and authoring must enter a MKV system designed for multi-platform libraries.

Where is the MPG source processed?

The browser prepares MKV from MPG on this device instead of sending the source to a remote conversion server.

How can I approve MKV converted from MPG?

Test the MKV file in the receiving app and compare duration, picture, sound and timing with the MPG source.
