Convert FLIC to FLI_

Understanding FLIC and FLI_ file formats

FLIC is an animation file format developed by Autodesk, commonly used for storing short animations. It typically uses the .fli or .flc file extensions and is known for its efficient compression and playback in older multimedia applications.

The FLI_ file format is not a standard animation or multimedia format. In most cases, files with the .fli_ extension are simply FLIC files that have been renamed, often for compatibility or archival reasons (such as to fit DOS 8.3 filename conventions or to avoid overwriting).

How to convert FLIC to FLI_

Since FLI_ is not a distinct file format but rather a renamed FLIC file, the conversion process is straightforward. You only need to change the file extension from .fli or .flc to .fli_. No actual file content conversion is required.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Locate your .fli or .flc file in your file manager.
2. Right-click the file and select Rename.
3. Change the extension from .fli or .flc to .fli_.
4. Press Enter to confirm the change.

If you have multiple files to rename, you can use batch renaming tools such as Bulk Rename Utility (Windows) or Renamer (macOS).

Recommended software for FLIC files

• IrfanView (Windows): Can open and preview FLIC files. Use File → Save As to export if needed.
• XnView (Windows, macOS, Linux): Supports FLIC files and batch renaming.
• Bulk Rename Utility (Windows): Efficient for batch renaming file extensions.

Summary

Converting FLIC to FLI_ is a simple renaming process, as both refer to the same file content. Use a reliable file manager or batch renaming tool for quick conversion.
