How to convert MKV to M2TS

  1. Add your MKV videos

    Drop MKV (Matroska) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. M2TS is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab and can take a while for large files.

  3. Download

    Save the M2TS, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

MKV to M2TS: what to expect

MKV does not play on iPhones, in QuickTime or in most browsers and editors. M2TS is what Blu-ray authoring tools and AVCHD-compatible players expect. MKV is at home in films with several audio and subtitle tracks; M2TS is the usual choice for blu-ray discs and AVCHD camcorder footage.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can lower the resolution, trade quality against file size, remove the sound and trim the start and end. This is demanding work for a browser: a long or high-resolution file can take several minutes, and your device does all of it, so keep the tab open.

This pair uses the compatibility engine, ffmpeg built for the browser, because M2TS cannot be written by the browser's built-in codecs. It is a one-off download of about 10 MB that the browser keeps, it is slower than the built-in codecs, and it takes files up to 1 GB.

MKV vs M2TS

MKV

Matroska video

MKV is an open container that can hold practically any video and audio format plus multiple subtitle tracks. That flexibility is why it is popular for films, and why Apple devices and browsers refuse it.

Opens in VLC, Plex and many TVs; not iPhones, QuickTime or most browsers

M2TS

Blu-ray / AVCHD video

M2TS is the transport stream container of Blu-ray discs and of AVCHD camcorders from Sony and Panasonic, which write the same files with an .mts extension. The files are large because the bitrate is high.

Opens in VLC, many TVs and media players; most phones, browsers and editors need it converted

Questions

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. The MKV to M2TS conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting MKV to M2TS reduce quality?

It depends on what is inside the MKV. When its video and audio are already in a form M2TS can hold, they can be carried over without being compressed again. Otherwise they are re-encoded, which costs a little quality. Under Options you can favour quality or a smaller file.

Can I convert several MKV files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert MKV to M2TS on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the MKV file, press Convert and save the M2TS. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. MKV to M2TS runs on the compatibility engine, which takes files up to 1 GB, and a long clip takes a while because it is slower than the browser's built-in codecs. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
