MKV to MP2
Extract MP2 audio from MKV video — right in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Drag & drop your MKV files here, or click to choose. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
MKV (Matroska) is an open video container; this tool pulls the audio track out of the video. People convert MKV to MP2 because broadcast and DAB radio equipment often expects an MPEG Layer II stream. This free MKV-to-MP2 tool pulls the audio track out of your MKV video and saves it as MP2, entirely inside your browser using a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg, so nothing is uploaded. Drop in one file or a whole batch, choose a bitrate from 96 up to 320 kbps, and each file converts automatically — then preview every result in place and download it. No signup, no watermark, and nothing to install.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert MKV to MP2?
To convert MKV to MP2, set the Bitrate dropdown first (96k, 128k, 192k recommended, 256k or 320k), then drag your MKV files onto the drop area or click to choose them, and each converts to MP2 automatically in your browser. Set the bitrate before adding files, since it is read as each one converts. Every finished file gets a row with its new name, size, an inline preview player and a Download button, and nothing is uploaded.
Is this MKV to MP2 converter free and private?
Yes on both counts: it is completely free with no signup, no watermark and nothing to install, and it is private because the whole conversion runs on a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg inside your own browser rather than on a server, so your files never leave your device. That makes it safe for private or unreleased recordings. The only download is the converter itself, a one-time roughly 32 MB file that is cached afterwards.
Will converting MKV to MP2 lose quality?
Some quality is lost, because MP2 is a lossy format, so the audio is decoded and re-encoded and a little more data is discarded on top of what the MKV already dropped. Choosing 192 kbps or higher keeps the difference very hard to hear for most listeners, and 256 or 320 kbps stays closest to the source. Higher bitrates make larger files.
Why convert MKV to MP2?
People convert MKV to MP2 because broadcast and DAB radio equipment often expects an MPEG Layer II stream. MP2 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer II) is an older lossy format still used in DAB digital radio and TV/broadcast chains. Converting re-packages your existing MKV audio into MP2 so it drops straight into that device, app or workflow, without changing how the original was recorded.
Which bitrate should I choose?
For most audio the default 192 kbps balances quality and file size well; pick 256 or 320 kbps to stay closest to the source, or 128 or 96 kbps for smaller files such as spoken word. Set the bitrate before adding files, as it is read when each one converts. Going above the source’s own bitrate adds size, not quality.
Does it keep the video?
No — this tool takes only the audio track out of your MKV file and discards the video, giving you a pure MP2 audio file. That is exactly what you want for saving a song, a podcast or the soundtrack from a clip. If you need the video too, keep your original MKV file alongside the extracted audio.
