Rescue an old Flash Video (FLV) file by converting it to MP4. Browsers dropped Flash support in 2020, so FLV files from old courses, webinars, and downloads no longer play — an MP4 makes them watchable again on any device.
FLV is the Flash Video container that carried almost all web video from 2005 until Flash was retired in 2020. Browsers can no longer play it, but FLV files still turn up in old course downloads, archived webinars, and legacy CMS exports. Convert FLV to MP4 to make that footage playable again on any modern device.
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most widely supported video container on the planet. It packs H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio into a single file that plays natively on iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS, web browsers, smart TVs, and every modern editor. Use MP4 when you need a finished, shareable video that will just work, anywhere, without re-encoding.
Drop a FLV file from your device, or paste a public URL pointing to the FLV you want to convert.
The output is pre-set to MP4. You can adjust quality or bitrate in the advanced options if you need a smaller file.
Click Convert. Our cloud workers fetch the FLV, scan it for malware, and run the FLV → MP4 pipeline.
A one-time pre-signed link appears as soon as the MP4 is ready. The file is automatically deleted from our storage 2 hours later.
