How do I convert GIF to MKV?

Drop your GIF file onto the converter above, make sure MKV is selected, and click Convert. When it's done, download the MKV file — it usually takes a few seconds.

Is it safe to convert GIF to MKV here?

Yes. GIF to MKV conversion happens entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your file is never uploaded to any server.

Is the GIF to MKV converter free?

Yes — free with no watermark. Signed-out visitors can convert 25 files a day, and a free account raises that to 250.

Will converting GIF to MKV reduce quality?

No — MKV preserves the content of your GIF file as faithfully as the format allows.

Can I convert multiple GIF files at once?

Yes. Add up to 5 files at a time without an account, 10 with a free account and up to 500 on paid plans, then download them individually or as a single ZIP.

Can I convert MKV back to GIF?

Yes — use our MKV to GIF converter. Note that converting back and forth between formats can't recover detail lost to lossy compression.
