Why Convert AVI to MKV?

Converting AVI to MKV is a common task whenever a file has to work somewhere that expects the other format. AVI is one of the oldest video container formats, introduced by Microsoft in 1992. MKV is the open Matroska container that can hold any number of video, audio and subtitle tracks in one file. This converter makes the switch locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Common use cases

  • You have a AVI file and need it in MKV format.
  • The target software or platform requires MKV but your file is in AVI.
  • Typical use of MKV: Playing OBS recordings on phones, TVs and editors.
  • You want to reduce file size or improve compatibility without using desktop software.
Keep in mind: Only the first video and audio track are converted here, and subtitle tracks are not carried over. Many TVs, phones and editors cannot play MKV directly.
