MKV to WAV: extract audio
Pull the soundtrack out of a MKV video and save it as WAV. Your video stays on your device: nothing is uploaded.
How to convert MKV to WAV
- Add your MKV files. Drop one or more .mkv files on the box above, or tap it to pick them from your device.
- Let it convert. The first video you convert loads the converter once (about 31 MB, then cached). After that it runs on your device; a progress bar shows how far along it is.
- Download the WAV. Press Download next to each file. Nothing was sent to a server, so close the tab and it's gone.
What is a MKV file?
MKV (Matroska) is a flexible container that can hold any codec, several audio tracks and subtitles. It is popular for downloads and recordings.
What is WAV?
WAV is uncompressed audio: exactly what the microphone or instrument produced, used in studios and for editing.
Why convert MKV to WAV?
MKV is great for holding many tracks and subtitles in one file, but phones, TVs, browsers and social networks often won't play MKV. WAV is the better choice for editing, mixing and archiving without loss; keep in mind about ten times bigger than MP3.
Will I lose quality?
No. WAV is lossless, so every pixel that MKV gave us is kept exactly.
Private by design
Most online converters upload your file to their servers. This one doesn't: the converter itself is loaded into your browser and works offline from there, so your videos never leave your phone or computer.
Questions
Is this MKV to WAV converter free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
Are my MKV files uploaded?
No. The conversion happens inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
Can I convert MKV to WAV on iPhone or Android?
Yes, in a modern browser. Phones are slower than computers for video, and very long videos can run out of memory on older phones.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Drop as many as you like; they are converted one after another and each gets its own download button.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit, but your browser has to hold the whole file in memory, so files over about 2 GB may fail.
