How to convert MKV to MOV

1

Upload your MKV file

Drag and drop the file, or click to browse. Files up to 500 MB are supported, and nothing is installed.

2

Confirm MOV as the output

MOV is already selected, so there is nothing to configure. You can switch formats in the panel if you need to.

3

Convert and download

We convert on our servers, usually in under a minute. Create a free account to download the MOV, or keep editing the file in REQO.

Why convert MKV to MOV?

MKV (Matroska) is an open container that can hold any codec plus unlimited audio tracks, subtitle tracks and chapters. That flexibility makes it great for archives and useless for sharing.

The practical problem: Browsers, phones and social uploads reject MKV almost universally. Editing tools often refuse to import it, or import picture without audio. Nobody can preview it without installing VLC first.

MOV solves that. Keeps the file native to macOS, iOS and Final Cut Pro. Preferred by some Apple-first editing and motion tools.

FAQ

MKV to MOV questions

Is the MKV to MOV converter free?

Yes. Convert and preview the result for free, then create a free account to download it. There is no per-file charge and no watermark on the MOV itself beyond the free-plan badge.

Do I need to install any software?

No. The conversion runs on our servers and the whole flow happens in your browser, so it works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and Android.

Does converting MKV to MOV reduce the quality?

Converting re-encodes the video, so it is not bit-for-bit identical. We encode at a high quality target, which keeps the result visually indistinguishable from the MKV on normal viewing. Converting the same file back and forth repeatedly will eventually show, so keep your original.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 500 MB per file. For anything bigger, trim or compress it first, both are free tools here.

Is my file kept private?

Your upload is processed and then held only as long as your project needs it. Nothing is published, indexed or shared unless you create a share link yourself.
