Convert MP4 to FLV – Prepare Videos for Legacy Flash Platforms

Converting MP4 to FLV helps ensure your videos are compatible with older Flash-based websites, LMS platforms, and media players. While MP4 is the modern standard for video streaming and sharing, FLV (Flash Video) was once the go-to format for embedding videos online. If you're working with legacy systems or need lightweight files for offline Flash players, Evano’s MP4 to FLV converter makes the process quick, secure, and completely browser-based.

🎯 What is MP4 and FLV?

What is an MP4 File?

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a widely used digital multimedia container that supports high-quality video, audio, subtitles, and more. It’s the standard for online video platforms like YouTube and Vimeo, and it works across nearly all devices and browsers.

What is an FLV File?

FLV (Flash Video) is a video format developed by Adobe for use with Flash Player. Though Flash is no longer widely supported, FLV is still used in older content management systems, internal tools, and offline playback environments.
