Due to safety concerns, Adobe discontinued its use of SWF files in 2020. SWF files do not enjoy the same level of safety as other file formats like M4V. As a result, they aren’t the safest file format, which means that they must be scanned for malicious content before they can be opened.

Why should I convert my SWF file?

SWF

SWF contains videos and vector-based animations. Unfortunately, you cannot upload SWF files on social media and YouTube. It is also not compatible with the most popular media players. But it is great for encoding browser-based games and animations.

SWF or Small Web Format files can be opened on Adobe Flash Player. However, since 2020, Adobe no longer supports the SWF file format due to security issues and recommends users to uninstall or convert SWF files to other video formats such as MP4.

AVI

AVI is the most compatible video format for Windows devices. You can upload it to Facebook and YouTube, but not to other mobile-based social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

AVI files tend to be larger in size (because they use less compression than video formats like MP4). The most compatible media player for AVI videos is VLC. AVI is not compatible with QuickTime (the default player on Apple devices). AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. AVI files can contain audio and video content, as well as codecs for DVD and XVid.
