What usually goes wrong
About the FLV. If you have FLV files they are probably old downloads worth rescuing, and converting them to MP4 is the way to keep them watchable.
About the MPG. An MPG from a DVD is interlaced, so it shows comb-like horizontal tearing on movement when played on a computer. Deinterlacing during conversion fixes it.
How to convert FLV to MPG
- Add your FLV file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to MPG.
- Press convert and the MPG file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert FLV to MPG?
Open this page, add your FLV file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this FLV to MPG converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Will converting to MPG lose quality?
MPG is a lossy format, so some detail is discarded. The quality control on this page decides how much. The default is set high enough that most people cannot see the difference.
Can I convert several FLV files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
