Convert Matroska audio files (MKA) online for free
The converter easily converts your MKA audio files to various formats - free and online. No VLC media player or other Audio software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "Audio Container" formats to MKA without using software like VLC media player or a similar tool.
The .MKA file extension is an audio container format developed by the Matroska open standard project. Unlike standard audio formats that only hold one stream of audio data, an .MKA file acts as a versatile envelope. It can store multiple distinct audio tracks (such as different language dubs or director commentaries), embedded chapter markers, and even lyric or subtitle streams within a single file. Users typically encounter these files when downloading full music albums packaged as a single file, or when extracting the audio tracks from MKV video files. You can open and inspect the contents using VLC media player or MKVToolNix.
The main disadvantage of the .MKA format is its poor native hardware and software support. Standard mobile music apps, Apple devices, car stereos, and web browsers routinely fail to play .MKA files without dedicated third-party software. Furthermore, many mainstream audio library managers struggle to read Matroska metadata tags. If you send an .MKA file to a client or friend, they will almost certainly encounter an unsupported format error.
To resolve these compatibility roadblocks, you must convert the file. For universal playback across devices and web browsers, convert to MP3. For native playback within the Apple ecosystem (iTunes, iOS), convert to M4A. If your original .MKA file contained a lossless audio stream and you want to archive it without introducing compression artifacts, convert to FLAC. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MKA converter.
