MP4 plays everywhere, but as a container it is comparatively narrow: it allows multiple audio tracks, but handles subtitles and chapter markers more awkwardly than MKV (Matroska), an open container built for exactly these cases - popular for archiving, multi-language videos and fansub projects.
Because MKV's lossless copy set is a superset of MP4's own (the same H.264/H.265/AAC family plus considerably more), this conversion is always a pure, lossless repackage - regardless of what the MP4 contains in detail. Every track (picture, every audio track, every subtitle track) is copied 1:1, nothing is recomputed.
In practice that means: if your MP4 has two audio tracks (e.g. an original and a commentary track), both survive in the MKV - MP4 itself already makes that harder with some players. Everything runs locally in the browser, with your video never uploaded.

FAQ
Is my video uploaded?
No, the entire conversion happens locally in your browser.
Does my video lose quality?
No, MP4 to MKV with this tool is always a lossless repackage, not a re-encode.
Why would I even want to convert MP4 to MKV?
For example to handle multiple audio tracks, subtitles or chapter markers more reliably, or for archiving and fansub purposes.
Are multiple audio tracks preserved?
Yes, every track of the MP4 is copied 1:1 into the MKV.
