W64 to MKV Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
W64 (Sony Wave64) is WAV beyond its 4 GB ceiling — a 64-bit riff on the RIFF container that Sony Vegas and high-resolution field recorders emit for hours-long sessions. MKV is ideal for archiving movies with multiple audio tracks and subtitles intact.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

About the W64 format
W64 is Sony's Wave64 — what happens when WAV's 32-bit size fields run out of road. A RIFF variant with 64-bit offsets, it shrugs off the 4 GB ceiling that makes plain WAV choke, which is why long field-recording sessions and Sony Vegas projects land in W64.
Inside, it is the same uncompressed PCM as WAV — ffmpeg hands W64 to WAV, FLAC or MP3 without touching a single sample, so conversion is purely about container compatibility.
+ Strengths
- ✓No 4 GB size ceiling — hours-long recordings
- ✓Bit-exact PCM, same as WAV inside
- ✓Standard in Sony Vegas workflows
! Limitations
- −Almost nothing outside Sony tools opens it
- −Uncompressed — very large files
- −Legacy niche — new tools prefer RF64
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 W64 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 W64 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 W64 to MKV reduce audio quality?
If MKV is lossless, the output contains everything the W64 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.
Can I convert a whole folder of W64 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.
