Converting FLV TO GIF

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert FLV to GIF if your computer, phone or other device does not support FLV format. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats.

The FLV extension significantly compresses content and belongs to the category of video formats, or media containers. The format can be opened on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or Android platforms. The FLV format was created by the developers of the Macromedia company. In 2007, Adobe Systems became the owner of the patent. FLV is an open format, so it is supported by a variety of programs from various developers. .FLV files can be created using Adobe Flash or other similar applications. They usually include a short title, audio, video, and metadata. FLV or Flash Video is a file format that is very widely used for publishing videos on the Internet. Almost all online videos that you see on such well-known sites as YouTube, Vimeo and the like have previously used this particular format. With the development and increasing speed of the Internet, watching videos online has become commonplace. To achieve good quality video transmission, coding began to be used that transmits data at high speed and without loss of quality. You can not only play the media file on your computer, but also prepare it for playing on your smartphone, tablet, player and uploading to social networks. To do this, you need to convert the clip to a different format.

GIF is one of the most widespread and popular image formats on the Internet. I think I won't be mistaken if I assume that the total number of all GIF files in the world is in the billions. Such widespread use of GIF is largely determined by the features of this format. The GIF extension is a format for graphic files. Although they do not contain audio data, such files can often be seen on the Internet as snippets from video clips. Websites often use the GIF extension to display animated objects such as buttons or logo images. GIF animation is needed to make text - on social networks, newsletters, or on a website - more dynamic. With the help of GIFs, you can increase user engagement, increase readability and click-through rates; it might even affect leads and sales. Since GIF files are saved losslessly, the image quality does not degrade when converted to this format. The very fact that GIF format retains color using significantly fewer colors in the palette results in a dramatic reduction in file size. Thus, the resulting data in GIF format is still implemented using lossless LZW compression. This results in the full palette being preserved and does not result in any defects. Although not created specifically for the World Wide Web, the format was quickly adopted for its versatility, small file size, and cross-platform compatibility.
