How to convert MKV to WebM

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

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The MKV to WebM converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your videos are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    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 WebM: what to expect

MKV does not play on iPhones, in QuickTime or in most browsers and editors. WebM is royalty-free and well suited to embedding in web pages. MKV is at home in films with several audio and subtitle tracks; WebM is the usual choice for royalty-free video on websites.

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.

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. A video over 500 MB cannot be kept at full quality in browser memory; choosing a lower resolution or quality under Options lets it fit.

MKV vs WebM

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
WEBM

WebM video

WebM is an open, royalty-free video format built for the web. It is a restricted form of Matroska holding VP8, VP9 or AV1 video. Browsers play it; iPhones, TVs and video editors often do not.

Opens in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and recent Safari; few TVs and editors

Questions

Are my videos uploaded anywhere?

No. The MKV to WebM 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 WebM reduce quality?

It depends on what is inside the MKV. When its video and audio are already in a form WebM 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 WebM 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 WebM. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Files up to 2 GB are accepted, and a video over 500 MB needs a lower resolution or quality chosen under Options so the result fits in memory. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
