Extract text from FLO files
To convert your FLO file to another format, you need LlamaLab Automate or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Automation Script & Vector Diagram" file type, you need software like LlamaLab Automate or a similar tool.
.FLO files represent a collision of three distinct digital worlds: Android automation, business process mapping, and computer vision research. Most commonly, these are Automate Flow files generated by LlamaLab Automate, containing logic blocks and scripts for Android device automation. Users commonly encounter problems here because these files are effectively "locked" inside the mobile ecosystem; they cannot be executed or natively visualized on desktop operating systems like Windows or macOS without specialized bridging tools or emulators.
The extension is also claimed by legacy diagramming tools like iGrafx FlowCharter and RFFlow. In this context, the files contain vector-based flowcharts. The challenge for users is proprietary lock-in: modern suites like Microsoft Visio often struggle to import these legacy formats accurately, leading to missing connectors or broken formatting. Finally, researchers use .FLO for Optical Flow data (Middlebury format), which stores raw motion vectors as floating-point binary data - completely unreadable by standard image viewers.
For LlamaLab users, the goal is often documentation: converting the flow logic to PDF or PNG allows for easier sharing and versioning outside the app. For iGrafx or RFFlow users, converting to PDF is essential for archiving, while SVG preserves editability in modern vector tools like Adobe Illustrator. For Optical Flow data, converting to color-coded PNG or TIFF renders the motion data visible for analysis.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FLO file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TXT, PDF, DOCX, SDOCX, TOC, WF1 and GPX files.
If you want to convert FLO file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use LlamaLab Automate or similar software from the "Automation Flow & Diagramming" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to FLO, try LlamaLab Automate or another comparable tool in the "Automation Flow & Diagramming" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FLO converter.
