Flippy reads practically any video format and writes clean MKV: codecs, containers and all the fiddly parts handled for you.
A classic video to MKV job: camera clips, screen recordings and downloads, bound for the archive, with every audio and subtitle track kept.
Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. It comes from wherever your camera, screen recorder or download made it.
MKV is the format that hoards: video, a dozen audio tracks and every subtitle, all in one box. The Matroska container: it will hold practically any codec ever made. That makes it the right destination when what you need is high-quality rips and archives with multiple audio and subtitle tracks.
Drop your video file into the flipper above, or click to browse for it.
Check the output format: MKV is already selected for you.
Hit Convert, give it a moment, then download your new MKV.
Settings guidance for any video file to MKV: MKV accepts practically any codec as-is, so when streams can be copied across there are no settings to lose sleep over. Flippy handles the codec choices, so the only real decision was picking MKV.
| video | MKV | |
|---|---|---|
| Born | wherever your camera, screen recorder or download came from | 2002, the open-source Matroska project |
| Type | video · any format | video · container |
| Best for | any moving picture: recordings, rips, exports, downloads | high-quality rips and archives with multiple audio and subtitle tracks |
| Weak spot | nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks | playing on TVs, iPhones and editors that never learned to open the box |
| Typical size | anywhere from short clips to multi-gigabyte recordings | as big as whatever you put inside: movie files often run to several gigabytes |
| Plays on | Depends on the container and the codec inside it. | VLC and desktop players love it; smart TVs, Apple devices and editors often don't. |
Flippy always picks the gentlest path: container swaps and extractions copy your streams untouched, and re-encodes happen once, at quality matched to the source.
It depends on the format you pick as the output: lossy formats land a few megabytes per minute, lossless several times that.
VLC and desktop players love it; smart TVs, Apple devices and editors often don't. That's the usual reason people leave video behind: MKV simply opens in more of the places that matter.
It scales with length and resolution: short clips finish in seconds, long HD videos can take a few minutes. Files auto-delete within an hour after.
