What is a .MKA file?

MKA is the Matroska audio container, the audio-only counterpart of MKV.

Did you know
  • MKA is part of the open Matroska family, first released in 2002.
  • MKA is the audio-only member of the Matroska family, alongside MKV for video and MKS for subtitles.
  • Windows 10 was the first version of Windows to play Matroska files out of the box, ending years of users installing third-party codec packs for them.
  • Matroska containers support embedded attachments, so a single file can carry its own cover art or even the fonts a subtitle track needs to render correctly.
  • A single MKA file can hold many audio tracks at once, useful for multiple languages or alternative mixes.
