How Do You Convert SWF To A GIF Animation?
While SWF and GIF animation files can both be found all over the internet, GIF files offer a little more flexibility in the way they can be viewed than SWFs. SWF files require a flash player to be viewed, while GIF files don’t. However, because SWF files are composed of movable objects with preset sequences, you can’t use a standard image file conversion utility to convert them more fixed format, such as GIF.

Download and install a copy of Aleo’s SWF/GIF Converter, and then launch the utility. Click on the green “SWF +” button, located near the top of the program, and use the file explorer window that appears, to locate the SWF file on your computer.
