About FLO files

FLO files are primarily associated with flowchart documents, often created using older software like Micrografx FlowCharter. While they serve a niche purpose in data visualization, their usage has declined due to compatibility issues with modern software. Converting FLO files to more widely supported formats is crucial for accessibility and future-proofing.

Common target formats for FLO file conversion include PDF, DOCX, and PNG. Converting to PDF ensures the document is viewable on nearly any device, while DOCX allows for further editing in word processors. Converting to PNG can be useful for sharing static images of the flowcharts.

Software options for conversion include desktop applications like Adobe Acrobat for PDF conversions or Microsoft Word for DOCX. However, these methods often require a two-step process, involving saving the FLO file as an intermediary format first, like a WMF or EMF, which can be cumbersome.

Important considerations in FLO file conversion involve maintaining the integrity of the original layout and data. The lack of native support in modern applications presents significant challenges, often requiring manual adjustments post-conversion to correct formatting issues.

Despite its historical utility, the FLO format is largely obsolete, marked by compatibility and conversion difficulties. This is where Convert.Guru comes in handy. With its user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, Convert.Guru offers a seamless solution for converting FLO files to various formats without the headaches associated with traditional methods. Simply drag and drop your FLO files onto the site to convert them effortlessly.


The FLO Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best FLO converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
