Standalone Flash Player is a Windows program that lets users watch Flash videos. This obsolete format is not supported by most modern browsers, so a tool like this can be an only option for opening SWF files.

About Macromedia Flash

Adobe introduced this technology in 1996 and developed Flash until 2020. It was very popular due to the small file sizes and good image quality. Flash uses vector graphics that allow you to enlarge the picture without losing any details. Standalone Flash Player in its turn is designed to open videos, mini-games, tutorials and other digital media. The program is quite easy to use and does not require any professional skills.

The main functions

The interface is simple. You can open Flash files and start or pause the playback. Rewind and fast forward options are available. Full screen is toggled by pressing the F11 button on your keyboard. Volume control is included as well.

Slider that allows you quick access to any part of the video is located at the bottom of the main window.

The program lacks certain functions like playlists and subtitles. Volume control does not always work as expected. There are other tools with more capabilities that can better fit your needs, for example SWF Opener.
