About MKV Compressor

MKV Compressor shrinks the file size of .mkv videos while keeping the flexible file type that made MKV popular for large media libraries. A quality slider lets you trade a bit of sharpness for a smaller file, so you decide how far to push it. Everything happens right here in your browser — your device does the work instead of a server, so your footage is never uploaded anywhere.

How to compress an MKV

  1. 1

    Add your MKVs

    Drag and drop your .mkv files, or click to browse. You can add several at once.

  2. 2

    Pick a quality

    Use the slider or a quick preset, then click Compress. A progress bar shows you how it's going — everything happens on your device, so it can take a few minutes for a longer clip.

  3. 3

    Download

    Save each file individually, or download every compressed file at once as a .zip.

FAQ

Will compressing my MKV lose quality?
Yes, a little — making a video smaller always means giving up a bit of sharpness. At the default 80% quality the difference is rarely visible; raise the slider if you want to be extra safe, or lower it for the smallest possible file.
Does the compressed file stay an MKV?
Yes — this tool compresses, it doesn't convert. The output is still an .mkv file, just at a smaller size.
What happens to extra audio or subtitle tracks?
Only the primary video and audio track carry over. If your MKV has multiple audio tracks or embedded subtitles, keep a copy of the original if you need to preserve them.
Are my videos uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression happens entirely on your device, inside your browser — your files never get sent anywhere.
Is there a file size limit?
Each file can be up to 300MB, and up to 5 files per batch, to keep things reliable in the browser.
