Common Questions About MKA to MXF
What's the maximum number of files I can convert at once?▼

MXF Video offers broadcast-grade container with comprehensive metadata support. It's widely used for television production, post-production and broadcast archives, making it an excellent choice for most video needs.
Will my MKA file be deleted after conversion?▼
No. Your original MKA file is never modified or deleted. Xonvert creates a separate MXF copy — your source file remains untouched.
What audio quality settings should I use?▼
For music, use 256 kbps or higher. For voice/podcast, 128 kbps is sufficient. Lossless output preserves everything.
Does this work on my phone or tablet?▼
Yes. Xonvert works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets all supported.
Can I undo a conversion?▼
Since your original MKA file is never modified, there's nothing to undo. Your source file remains exactly as it was — only a new MXF copy is created.
