FLV converter
Convert your FLV files to any format.
What is a FLV file?
FLV is the video format that powered early YouTube and web video — Adobe Flash Player was discontinued in 2020, so FLV files no longer play in any current browser.
First released in 2002 by Macromedia (Adobe), it uses lossy compression and no transparency, which makes it best suited to old Flash-based web video — no modern browser or device plays it natively anymore.
