Converting FLV to video is free: drop your FLV above, hit convert, and download the video. Files delete themselves within an hour.

Sometimes the job is simply "away from FLV": this tool takes your FLV and hands back video in whichever format the destination will actually accept. Pick MP4 for maximum reach or WEBM for the open web; either way, the video inside your FLV makes the trip intact.

Why flip FLV to video

FLV is a relic of the Flash era: the format YouTube grew up on, stranded when Flash died. It was born in 2002, Macromedia (later Adobe), for Flash Player, and its real weak spot is playing anywhere at all since Flash was switched off in 2020.

Video is the heaviest thing most of us ever attach: screen recordings, camera clips, whole talks. Stands in for any video format Flippy can read: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM and the rest. That makes it the right destination when what you need is any moving picture: recordings, rips, exports, downloads.

FLV vs video, side by side

	FLV	video
Born	2002, Macromedia (later Adobe), for Flash Player	wherever your camera, screen recorder or download came from
Type	video · container	video · any format
Best for	nothing new: today it's mostly old downloads waiting to be rescued	any moving picture: recordings, rips, exports, downloads
Weak spot	playing anywhere at all since Flash was switched off in 2020	nothing inherently; every container brings its own quirks
Typical size	small files with dial-up-era expectations about quality	anywhere from short clips to multi-gigabyte recordings
Plays on	Almost nothing modern; VLC and converters are its retirement home.	Depends on the container and the codec inside it.

Questions people ask

Will converting FLV to video lose quality?

Flippy always picks the gentlest path: container swaps and extractions copy your streams untouched, and re-encodes happen once, at quality matched to the source.

Will the video file be bigger or smaller than my FLV?

It depends on the format you pick as the output: lossy formats land a few megabytes per minute, lossless several times that.

How long does FLV to video conversion take?

It scales with length and resolution: short clips finish in seconds, long HD videos can take a few minutes. Files auto-delete within an hour after.
