‘Convert FLV to GIF’ Tutorial
FLV
FLV is designed by Adobe for transmitting video files over the internet. You can upload FLV files to Facebook and YouTube, but not to other social media and video sharing platforms. The most compatible media player for FLV files is VLC.
FLV (Flash Video) files are used for storing videos in the "Flash VIdeo" format. However, it is not a widely-used format today, because Adobe has officially discontinued Flash. You can still create and share files in the FLV file format if you use a Flash Video exporter plug-in.
GIF
GIF is an animated graphic or image. Animated GIF images are infinitely looping. You can upload GIF files to Facebook and Twitter. However, it is not a video so you cannot upload GIFs to Instagram or YouTube. You also cannot play GIFs on media players.
GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. The pronunciation of GIF has been widely debated, whether it should be pronounced as “jiff” or “gif”—with the “g” pronounced like the g in “goat”. GIF files can contain more than one image.
FAQ
- Select your FLV video and upload it to VEED
- Choose GIF from the dropdown and click Convert
- Export the video
No, unfortunately not. GIF files are image-only file formats, and do not support sound whatsoever. Convert GIFs to MP4 or AVI in order to export animations with sound.
VEED is a great tool for making GIFs for free! Simply open VEED’s video editor, upload your video in any format, edit as needed, and download as GIF. VEED is an entirely free video editor and lets you edit videos without leaving your browser. (To open VEED’s editor from the converter, press the ‘Edit’ button before exporting any file you’ve uploaded).
Not much. Since Adobe discontinued its use of the FLV file due to security issues, it is no longer in widespread use. Most video players and devices do not recognise the FLV file format. Convert FLV files to more compatible formats like MP4 to make them easier to open, stream and share.

I found VEED at the right time: if you're making UGC ads and not using Eye Contact Correction and Noise Reduction on VEED you're missing out on ROI.
