SPX to MKV Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
MKV is ideal for archiving movies with multiple audio tracks and subtitles intact. If your files are still in SPX format, this page is the shortcut: SPX is Speex voice audio in an Ogg container — the codec of old VoIP recorders and Asterisk phone systems.
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.

About the SPX format
SPX is Speex speech audio in an Ogg container — the open voice codec of the 2000s VoIP wave, tuned for telephone-band speech at absurdly low bitrates. Asterisk PBX call recordings and old conferencing archives are where you meet it.
Speex was formally retired in favor of Opus, and players have followed. Converting SPX to MP3 (or Opus for the adventurous) rescues call archives before they become unplayable.

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

Frequently asked questions
Is this SPX 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 SPX 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.
Will converting SPX to MKV reduce audio quality?
If MKV is lossless, the output contains everything the SPX file contains — no further loss is added. If MKV is lossy, one recompression pass is unavoidable; the quality slider controls how much. Loss that already happened in the source file can never be undone by converting.
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.
