Frequently Asked Questions

You should convert MP4 to FLV when you need your video to be played on older websites and programs that are still using Flash players. Lots of old video platforms, servers, and learning systems were built for .flv files, not .mp4. Therefore, FLV is still a useful format if you’re updating old content, restoring a legacy site, or need fast-loading videos for slow internet.

The converted FLV files can be opened on most computers with free players, such as VLC, KMPlayer, or PotPlayer. These programs work on Windows, Mac, and Linux without Flash. If you wish to play the FLV video online, you should embed it in an older Flash-compatible website or upload it to a platform that still provides FLV playback. For the latest browsers, FLV is no longer compatible. Offline players are the easiest option.

Yes, in many cases. The FLV format was designed for web streaming at a time when internet speeds were much slower. It starts playing before the full file is downloaded, so it usually loads fast even with weak connections. On the other hand, MP4 provides higher quality at smaller sizes, but it’s optimized for modern browsers and networks. Therefore, when you have a slow internet connection, FLV videos will typically play more smoothly.

A little bit. FLV uses older compression technology, so the picture and sound may lose a little detail during the conversion. Many people will not observe the difference unless they compare them closely. So if your MP4 is in HD or higher, the converted FLV video might appear a bit softer or less sharp, but it will play fine. AhaConvert will automatically adjust the settings to keep good quality while keeping the file size smaller for easy playback.

Yes. AhaConvert lets you convert MP4 to FLV completely free in your browser. There is no signup, no subscription, and no hidden watermarks for simple conversions. Just upload your MP4 file and download the FLV version once it’s ready. That’s it.

Yes, but only videos up to 1 GB in size. We set this limit to keep the upload speed stable for every user. Files larger than 1 GB can take a very long time to upload and may fail if the internet connection is slow. Therefore, if your video is bigger, please trim or compress it first. Our converter will still process the full video as long as it’s under the limit.

For now, AhaConvert does one file at a time to maintain the speed and stability of the tool. If you wish to convert several videos, you will have to do them individually. If this is something you need to do often, let us know. We will consider adding this feature in a future update.

Absolutely. All the video files, whether uploaded or downloaded, are kept safe during processing. We use 256-bit SSL encryption, store files in a secure cloud environment, and automatically delete them within 24 hours.
