How to convert FLV to GIF

Upload your FLV file, trim to the section you want, choose frame rate and output size, download the GIF. Browser-based — no Flash Player needed.

Why FLV files are obsolete — and how to save them

Adobe killed Flash Player in 2020, and modern browsers removed native FLV support. FLV files still sit on hard drives from the YouTube-download era of the 2000s. Converting to GIF (or MP4) is the easiest way to preserve and share them today.

Preserving old Flash video content as GIFs

Short Flash-era clips make excellent nostalgia GIFs. Trim to 2–6 seconds at 10fps for shareable file sizes.
