Convert CAF to MKV — Free Online Converter

CAF is Apple's professional audio container with unlimited codec support. MKV (Matroska Video) is the open-source multimedia container supporting virtually every audio and video codec. MKV is the standard for media servers (Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi) and personal media libraries.

Converting CAF to MKV wraps the audio inside the Matroska container, enabling integration with video production workflows, media server libraries, and multi-track audio files.

MKV provides cross-platform multimedia container support that CAF lacks. Converting CAF audio to MKV prepares it for muxing with video streams, adding subtitles, or building multi-track files. Media server software universally supports MKV.

MKV's chapter support, multiple audio tracks, and rich metadata make it the preferred container for complex multimedia projects. CAF's macOS-only limitation prevents its use in these cross-platform workflows.
