What is MKV?
MKV (Matroska) is an open, royalty-free container that can hold any number of video, audio and subtitle tracks plus chapters in a single file. It is popular for films and archives, but many phones, TVs and editors do not open it natively.
What is MOV?
MOV is Apple's QuickTime container, the default format for iPhone recordings and Final Cut Pro exports. It supports high-quality codecs such as ProRes and HEVC, but outside the Apple ecosystem it is less universally supported than MP4.
Tips for converting MKV to MOV
- Check the length and resolution of your MKV file first: long 4K videos take several minutes to process and may exceed the 50MB free limit.
- If you only need the soundtrack, pick an audio format such as MP3 instead of MOV — the file will be much smaller.
- Keep the original video until you have checked the converted file plays correctly on the device you want to use.
- Subtitles and extra audio tracks are not always carried over between containers, so check them after converting.
