How to convert SWF to MP4 on Windows?

Adobe Flash is no longer supported in modern browsers, but many training packs, banners, and archives still live as .swf files. Ray SWF to Video Converter turns those Flash movies into MP4 (H.264) so you can play them in Movies & TV, browsers, and editors on Windows.

Note: Ray SWF to Video Converter is for Flash .swf files only. Ray Video Converter does not open SWF — use this product for Flash content.

Steps

Step 1. Open Ray SWF to Video Converter (rayswf2video.exe). The empty window shows File List, Preview, and the prompt Drag & Drop SWF Files Here / SWF · Flash movies. Click Add Files (or drop SWF files onto the list).

Step 2. Confirm each SWF appears in the File List columns (FILE NAME, SIZE, DIMENSIONS, FRAMES, FPS, COMPAT, STATUS, PROGRESS). In Output Settings on the Basic tab, set Format to MP4 (H.264). Leave Resolution on Original unless you need a fixed frame size.
