FLV vs GIF at a glance
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. GIF is the 1987 classic — limited to 256 colors, kept alive almost entirely by its looping animations.

Is this FLV to GIF converter really free?
