What is FLV?

Flash Video — the container that powered web video for over a decade and is still common in old downloads, screen recordings, and archived streams. The audio inside is usually MP3 or AAC. Extract it to MP3 to play the sound anywhere.

What is MP3?

The most widely used audio format. Great compatibility, small file size. Ideal for music, podcasts, and general use.

Why Convert FLV to MP3?

FLV — Flash Video — was the format that carried web video for well over a decade, and it's still lurking everywhere: old downloads, archived streams, screen recordings, and lecture captures from the Flash era. Flash itself is long dead, so playing a .flv file today is a struggle — modern browsers dropped Flash, and most current media players and phones either won't open FLV or handle it poorly. Often, though, you don't need the video at all: you want the audio — a song, a talk, a recording, the narration from an old clip. Extracting that audio as MP3 rescues it into a small, portable file that plays on absolutely everything and can go on your phone, into a playlist, or into an editor. The audio inside an FLV is usually MP3 or AAC, and this converter reads the FLV, discards the video stream, decodes that audio track, and re-encodes just the audio to MP3 — all with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, running inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so even large archives or private recordings stay on your device. It's the simplest way to pull usable, universally-playable audio out of a legacy Flash Video file without installing any software or hunting for an ancient Flash player. If you need to keep the visuals, hold on to the original FLV; this tool is for when the sound is what you're after.

What is an FLV file?

FLV (Flash Video) is the container that powered web video during the Flash era. The audio inside is typically MP3 or AAC. Because Flash is gone and most players no longer support FLV, extracting the audio to MP3 makes it playable again.

Does this keep the video or just the audio?
