About MKV and OGG
MKV is the Matroska container — a flexible box that can hold nearly any codec. OBS and most screen recorders write it by default.
OGG Vorbis is a free, open lossy codec that beats MP3 at equivalent bitrates. It's common in game audio and open-source software, and every modern browser plays it.
Extracting audio from MKV re-encodes only the audio track — the video is discarded, so even long files finish quickly.
How the conversion works
This tool runs FFmpeg — the same engine behind most media software — compiled to WebAssembly, entirely in your browser. Your file is read locally, converted locally, and saved straight from memory; nothing is ever uploaded, which also means no queues and no server-side file size limits.
The converter itself is a one-time ~31 MB download on your first conversion, cached by the browser afterwards. Once it's loaded, everything works offline.
