Three Methods To Change The Size Of A SWF File

Swf is widely used for multimedia, vector graphics and ActionScript. Usually, flash videos are designed to make you laugh and please your life. However, though you can play swf file with Adobe Flash Player or web browser, neither can help you to crop the video size of a swf file.

It is OK if you feel comfortable at the original size of a swf file while it is annoying once you find the original size is either too big or too small. In order to help you settle this issue, this blog will show you three methods to change the size of a swf file.

Generally speaking, you can do it with the following three methods: convert the swf file to animated gif, revise the size of a swf file with apps like Flash 8 or convert a swf file to other video file. You can choose the method best fit you.

I. Convert swf file to animated gif

1. Open Moyea SWF to Video Converter, click “Browser” and choose “From Folder” to import the swf file.

2. Click “Export” tab, check “Image series” and then choose “Animated GIF” in the drop-down menu of “Style“.

3. Click “Settings” button, check “Custom” in the interface of “Profile“, set the values of width and height you want in the corresponding boxes and then click “OK“.

4. Choose “Convert” tab and then click “Play and Capture“. When the movie ends, click “Finish” button.

II. Change the size with Flash 8

You can also change the size of a swf file directly with apps like Flash 8, a professional app for making and editing swf files. However, you need to convert the swf file to a fla file first because swf file can’t be edited.
