Quick answer: To convert MKV to TS, add the MKV file to the iHateFiles MKV to TS converter and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. Re-encodes the picture and sound into a TS container.
Should you convert MKV to TS?
A safe conversion: MKV and TS are both lossless, so this is a change of container rather than a change to the picture.
Nothing is discarded
MKV and TS are both lossless, so every pixel survives the move intact. Convert back and forth as often as you like; the image does not degrade.

What usually goes wrong
About the MKV. MKV and WEBM share a signature because WEBM is a restricted Matroska, so tools sometimes report one as the other. What matters is the codecs inside.
About the TS. TS files from a recorder often contain several programmes or several audio tracks at once, so a converter may pick a different one than you expected.
How to convert MKV to TS
- Add your MKV file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to TS.
- Press convert and the TS file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert MKV to TS?
Open this page, add your MKV file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this MKV to TS converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Will converting to TS lose quality?
TS is a lossy format, so some detail is discarded. The quality control on this page decides how much. The default is set high enough that most people cannot see the difference.
Can I convert several MKV files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
