MOD to MKV Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Amiga Module and Matroska Video exist for different jobs: MOD is the Amiga tracker format — samples plus a pattern table that the demo scene turned into an art form, replayed through its own synthesizer. MKV is ideal for archiving movies with multiple audio tracks and subtitles intact.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the MOD format
MOD is where digital music composition started for a generation: the Amiga tracker format stores short PCM samples plus a pattern table of note events, and the player synthesizes the song live. It is not a waveform — it is sheet music and an instrument pack in one file, which is why 30KB can hold a full song.
Converting MOD to MP3 or WAV renders the song through the tracker engine exactly as it sounds — every player interprets the same patterns, so the render is faithful to the original scene release.
+ Strengths
- ✓Complete songs in tens of kilobytes
- ✓Rich demo-scene heritage
- ✓Self-contained samples + patterns
! Limitations
- −31 8-bit samples max in classic MOD
- −Player interpretation varies subtly
- −4-channel-era limitations
About the MKV format
MKV (Matroska) is the open container that refuses to say no: virtually any video codec, multiple audio tracks, multiple subtitle streams, chapters, attachments and menu structure in one file. It became the de facto standard for movie rips, anime releases and personal archives precisely because nothing needs to be thrown away.
The same generosity is its compatibility risk: smart players (VLC, mpv) handle everything, but smart TVs, consoles and car systems choke on exotic codec combinations inside MKV. It is also not a streaming standard, so web delivery runs through its subset, WebM.
+ Strengths
- ✓Unlimited tracks: audio, subtitles, chapters, attachments
- ✓Open specification, no licensing
- ✓Ideal archival container — nothing is lost
! Limitations
- −Device playback is hit-or-miss outside smart players
- −Not web/streaming native
Why convert MOD to MKV?
Converting makes sense where the strengths of MKV meet what MOD cannot give you. Unlimited tracks: audio, subtitles, chapters, attachments Meanwhile 31 8-bit samples max in classic MOD One pass through the converter above puts your file on the right side of that trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is this MOD to MKV converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for MOD to MKV?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Are tags like title and artist preserved?
Tag handling varies between target formats and this conversion focuses on the audio itself. For archival copies where tags matter, keep the original file; the converted copy is for playback and sharing.
Can I convert a whole folder of MOD files?
You can select many files at once and they are processed in a single batch. Output files land in one ZIP download when there is more than one result.
