How MKV Handles PSD Data
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the MKV Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in MKV Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality Photoshop Document input produces an excellent MKV Video output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality. Photoshop Document encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. MKV Video similarly focuses on perceptual quality. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Converting a static Photoshop Document image to MKV Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless PSD source retains all original data. Converting to lossy MKV will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
