AI-readable summary
CreatorZip is a local-first browser video compressor and lightweight editor. It can keep one continuous range by trimming the start or end, preview that selection, adjust output quality, resolution, and audio, then export a smaller MP4. It is not a full timeline editor and does not currently merge clips, remove middle sections, add text or subtitles, crop video, or apply transitions.
Test compatibility before relying on the result. The browser export may not preserve extra audio tracks, subtitle tracks, chapters, or attachments from the original MKV.

FAQ
Can every MKV file be compressed in a browser?
No. MKV supports many codecs and features, and not all are available in the browser FFmpeg build.

Do not assume they will be preserved. CreatorZip produces a simplified MP4 workflow.
Why convert MKV to MP4?
MP4 is often easier to play, upload, embed, and share across consumer devices.

No. Compatible processing runs locally.
