Extract text from Edge Reflow data files (RFLW)
To convert RFLW data files to another format, you need Adobe Edge Reflow or other Web software.
To convert other file formats to the "Legacy Web Design Project" file type, you need software like Adobe Edge Reflow or a similar tool.
The .RFLW file is a proprietary project file created by Adobe Edge Reflow, a discontinued web design application that was part of the Adobe Edge suite. These files store layout rules, CSS breakpoints, and embedded asset references used to build responsive websites.
Historically, this format was exclusively managed by Adobe Edge Reflow. Because the software was discontinued in 2015, these files are now essentially inaccessible abandonware.
Users typically need to convert .RFLW files to recover lost web layouts, extract UI assets from archived projects, or migrate old designs to modern platforms. The primary disadvantage of the .RFLW format is its closed ecosystem: it requires legacy software and an outdated operating system to open natively, making it a major bottleneck for modern web developers.
The ideal target formats are HTML and CSS for structural recovery, or ZIP if the file acts as an archive of assets. Note that converting this legacy format to modern tools often strips away the original dynamic responsive behaviors.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because it is closed and proprietary; standard online converters fail because only the original Adobe software can properly read or export the native data structure. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as raw CSS strings or image assets - viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RFLW file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert RFLW file to HTML, HTM, CSS, JS, PHP, ASP, ASPX, JSP, JSPX, PY, RB or PL, you can use Adobe Edge Reflow or similar software from the "Responsive Web Design Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RSS, CSS, CGI, SITEMAP, PL, WEBMANIFEST, JSON, JS, XML, HTML, ICO or HTM files to RFLW, try Adobe Edge Reflow or another comparable tool in the "Responsive Web Design 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 RFLW converter.
