Convert Files to SWF or From SWF Online for Free

What is SWF Format?

SWF (short for Small Web Format or Shockwave Flash) files are the old file type created by Adobe (originally Macromedia) for Flash content. They were widely used on websites in the 2000s for animations, interactive graphics, multimedia, and online games. However, since Adobe discontinued the Flash Player in 2020, SWF files are now considered outdated. Most browsers no longer support them, which is why people search for SWF converters, such as AhaConvert, to change them into modern formats like MP4 or MOV for compatibility.
