Limits
Starting point: MP4 - H.264 video with AAC audio in one file. H.264 has no alpha channel, so transparency is dropped. Only the embedded video track converts; scripts and buttons are dropped. Encode SWF (Sorenson Spark / MP3) from MP4 at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
How conversion works
Conversion runs entirely in your browser with FFmpeg WASM. Files never leave your device.
