What is a .flp File, and How to Open It?

Would you like to know what a .flp file is and how to open it? Your computer may contain a file that ends with the extension .flp, and you are trying to open it.

Some applications are only capable of launching files with the file extension FLP. It is important to note that .flp files are usually data files, not documents or media, which means they cannot be viewed.

This article will explain a .flp file, how to open and convert it, programs to open and convert it, and how to open it on Windows and Mac.

What Is A .flp File?

There are three files with the .flp extension: audio files, data files, and disk images. As for audio files, it is mainly used by FruityLoops to describe music file references rather than the audio or music file themselves.

It is important to note that the audio files saved and played by the software are not FLP files. Still, their references and information about them are .flp files.

Further, these FLP files are the file format used by Macromedia Flash to generate output files for disk image projects.

In addition to supporting widely used operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Mac, these applications also support various other operating systems.
