Why convert MKV to MOV?
Want to import an MKV movie or clip into iMovie, Final Cut Pro or QuickTime? Apple apps don't accept MKV — converting to MOV wraps the video in Apple's native container so it opens without a hitch.
MKV vs MOV at a glance
MKV is the flexible open container — can hold almost any codec, multiple audio tracks and embedded subtitles, but browser support is limited. MOV is Apple's native video container — high quality from iOS and macOS apps, but rarely supported outside the Apple ecosystem.

MKV to MOV — frequently asked questions
Is this MKV to MOV converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits.
Will I lose quality converting to MOV?
MOV uses lossy compression, so the image is re-encoded at high quality (92%). For photos the difference is practically invisible; for text-heavy graphics or logos, a lossless format like PNG preserves sharp edges better.
Are subtitles kept?
Burned-in subtitles are always kept. Separate subtitle tracks may not carry over, since MOV's subtitle support is more limited than MKV's.
Is the conversion private?
Video conversion runs on our servers with ffmpeg — your file is deleted immediately and never stored.
