Extract text from FLR files
To convert your FLR file to another format, you need Rive or other Vector Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Vector Animation Asset" file type, you need software like Rive or a similar tool.
The .FLR extension is primarily associated with Flare, a legacy vector animation tool developed by 2Dimensions (now rebranded as Rive). These files contain 2D vector graphics, skeletal animation data, and keyframes used in app and game development. Unlike standard video files, .FLR files are runtime assets designed to be rendered in real-time by code.
The primary challenge users face is that .FLR is a deprecated format. The modern Rive editor uses the RIV format and cannot directly import legacy .FLR exports without the original source project file (ThisFile.flr2d). Consequently, users are often locked out of editing their animations or using them in updated runtime environments. Additionally, .FLR files appear in two other contexts: as decompiled ActionScript text files extracted from Flash SWF archives, or as legacy floor tile assets from games like SimCity 2000.
For animation files, the best conversion target is RIV (if the source is available) for use in modern apps. If you need to view the data or debug, converting the JSON-based variant to JSON or TXT is ideal. For archiving or sharing visuals without code dependencies, screen-capturing the playback to MP4 or GIF is the most practical solution.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FLR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted RIV, TFT and TTP files.
If you want to convert FLR file to RIV, TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX, LATEX, MD, MARKDOWN or LOG, you can use Rive or similar software from the "Vector Animation Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, DOCX, JPG, TXT, NOTE or RTF files to FLR, try Rive or another comparable tool in the "Vector Animation Storage" 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 FLR converter.
