Convert MPG files to MKV free in your browser — no signup, no install, and the file is never uploaded to a server.
Add your MPG file
Drag the MPG file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
Confirm MKV as the output
MKV is already selected as the output format on this page. You can pick the resolution. Encoding is the slowest part, so smaller resolutions finish sooner.
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. Video is re-encoded frame by frame on your own machine, so a long clip can take several minutes. The tab has to stay open.
Download the MKV file
When it finishes, download the MKV file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.
