How to convert MKV to OGG

  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. OGG 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 OGG, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so work starts the moment you press Convert. How long it takes depends on your device and the size of the file.

  • 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 OGG: what to expect

MKV does not play on iPhones, in QuickTime or in most browsers and editors. Ogg is open and royalty-free, which game engines and open-source tools favour. MKV is at home in films with several audio and subtitle tracks; OGG is the usual choice for royalty-free audio in games and on the web. The OGG contains the soundtrack only; the picture is dropped.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can choose the bitrate 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.

The conversion uses your browser's own video and audio codecs (WebCodecs), with hardware acceleration where the device has it; the file is read from disk as it goes and can be up to 2 GB. Where the browser lacks a codec, the page falls back to the compatibility engine. OGG is written at 160 kbps unless you choose another bitrate.

MKV vs OGG

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

MKV converter
OGG

Ogg audio

Ogg is an open container, most often holding Vorbis audio. Games, Linux software and Wikipedia use it because it is free of patents. Apple's players do not support it natively.

Opens in Chrome, Firefox, Android, VLC; Apple devices need extra software

Questions

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. The MKV to OGG 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 OGG reduce quality?

The soundtrack is re-encoded as OGG. OGG is lossy, but at a normal bitrate the difference is hard to hear. You can choose the bitrate under Options.

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 OGG 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 OGG. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files up to 2 GB are accepted. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
