Private MP4 to MKV Converter
Move an owned MP4 into the flexible Matroska container locally for archiving or an MKV-based playback workflow.
Ready. Your working data stays in this browser.
Files stay on this device. Processing uses browser APIs only; nothing is uploaded to YTSave, the media API or a proxy.
How it works
The browser demuxes the MP4 and builds a new Matroska file, preserving every supported media track and reporting incompatibilities before export.
Practical example
Select an MP4, verify that no track was discarded, and save the browser-generated MKV without a server transfer.
Validation
The calculation is deterministic and explains validation errors instead of silently changing invalid input.
Privacy boundary
Input and output remain in this tab. Copy and download happen through browser APIs without a server upload.
Result passport
Every run reports its tool mode, timestamp and input/output size so transformed data can be audited.
