Last Updated: March 11, 2026

Important: MKVcleaver.com is an independently operated, fan-made informational resource. We are NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially associated with Ilia Bakhmoutski (the developer of MKVcleaver) or any other software developer or company featured on this website.

Website Disclaimer

MKVcleaver.com is an independent informational resource created by fans of MKVcleaver and related multimedia tools. This website exists to provide helpful guides, feature breakdowns, and download references for MKVcleaver — a GUI front-end for MKVToolNix’s mkvextract component.

All product names, logos, brands, and trademarks mentioned on this site are the property of their respective owners. References to MKVcleaver, MKVToolNix, and any other software are used strictly for identification and informational purposes. Such use does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or any official connection.

No Affiliation or Association

MKVcleaver.com is independently operated and is NOT the official website for MKVcleaver or any other software listed here.

We do not represent, speak for, or act on behalf of the developers behind MKVcleaver or MKVToolNix. All information presented on this site has been gathered from publicly available sources, including the official MKVcleaver blog, user forums, and software documentation.

If you need official support, want to report bugs, or have questions about MKVcleaver’s development, please visit the official website at blogs.sapib.ca.

Download & File Hosting Disclaimer

We do not host MKVcleaver or any other software files on our servers. Download links and references on this website point to original sources, including:

  • The official MKVcleaver download page maintained by the developer
  • Trusted third-party repositories where the developer has published releases
  • Official MKVToolNix distribution channels (since MKVcleaver depends on MKVToolNix)

We do not modify, alter, repackage, or redistribute any software files. Because these files are hosted externally, we cannot guarantee their continued availability or integrity at all times. Always verify downloads against official sources before installing anything on your system.

No Warranty

All information on MKVcleaver.com is provided on an “as is” basis, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of the content published here.

Software versions, features, system requirements, and download links may change at any time without notice. The developer of MKVcleaver may release updates, deprecate features, or discontinue the project entirely — and our content may not always reflect those changes immediately.

Limitation of Liability

Using any software you find through this site is entirely at your own risk. MKVcleaver.com and its operators are not liable for:

  • Damage to your computer, operating system, or data
  • Loss of files, productivity, or data integrity
  • Security vulnerabilities or malware from third-party download sources
  • Compatibility problems between MKVcleaver and your system configuration
  • Issues arising from incorrect use of MKVcleaver or mkvextract
  • Any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind

Your responsibilities before installing MKVcleaver:

  • Verify you are downloading from the official source
  • Scan downloaded files with up-to-date antivirus software
  • Back up important data before making changes to MKV files
  • Confirm MKVToolNix is properly installed, since MKVcleaver requires mkvextract.exe to function
  • Check that your system meets the minimum requirements (Windows with .NET Framework)

Respect for Developers

We have genuine respect for Ilia Bakhmoutski and the work that has gone into building MKVcleaver over the years. The same goes for Moritz Bunkus and the MKVToolNix team, whose mkvextract tool powers MKVcleaver behind the scenes.

All software featured on this site remains the intellectual property of its respective creators. Our goal is to help users discover and learn how to use MKVcleaver effectively — not to undermine the developers who built it.

We encourage users to:

  • Support the developers by providing feedback through official channels
  • Respect the GPL license under which MKVcleaver is distributed
  • Report bugs and issues directly to the developer, not to us
  • Avoid redistributing modified versions of MKVcleaver without proper attribution

That said, we take copyright seriously and comply fully with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
