FAQ

Why can nothing open my FLV files?

Because they were made for Flash, which browsers removed at the end of 2020. The files are intact; the runtime they depended on no longer exists anywhere.

Should I convert the video instead?

Only if you need the picture. Most FLV archives are lectures and screen recordings where the audio is the content — extracting it is faster, produces a far smaller file, and skips the quality loss of re-encoding video.

What bitrate suits an old FLV?

128 kbps. Flash-era audio was encoded at modest rates for slow connections, and choosing a higher bitrate produces a bigger file without recovering anything.

Can I convert a whole folder at once?

Yes, up to twenty files per batch. They run one after another on your own machine, so a course archive converts in a single sitting without uploading anything.

Is the audio identical to the original?

No. It is decoded and re-encoded rather than copied, which is a second lossy pass. For speech at ordinary bitrates the difference is not audible.

How long does it take?

Seconds per file. The video is skipped rather than decoded, so the work scales with the length of the audio rather than the size of the file.

Is it really free?

Yes — every conversion on this site, with no account, no watermark and no daily cap. The work happens on your own device, so there is no server bill for us to pass on to you.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in any modern browser, on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. There is nothing to download and nothing to sign up for, and once the page has loaded it keeps working with the network switched off.
