How do I convert MP4 to FLV with LetsConvert?

1. Open the MP4 to FLV converter. 2. Drag your MP4 file into the upload area. 3. Set output format to FLV. 4. Adjust bitrate, resolution, or frame rate if needed. 5. Click Convert. 6. Download the resulting FLV file.

Why would I need to convert MP4 to FLV instead of keeping MP4?

MP4 is widely supported, but FLV is required for older Flash-based players, RTMP live streaming servers, and some Adobe AIR applications. Converting to FLV ensures playback in those specific environments while retaining H.264 video and AAC audio.

What technical settings are preserved when converting MP4 to FLV?

By default, our converter re-encodes to H.264/AAC with the same resolution, frame rate, and audio bitrate as your MP4. Keyframe intervals remain unchanged. However, FLV does not support HEVC, subtitles, or Matroska-style chapters, so those data streams are dropped. Advanced options let you force a constant bitrate or adjust the GOP size for RTMP delivery.
