SWF is the format that is used by the Flash Player to allow vector images and animation videos on the web to be able to show. Have you heard about Adobe Flash Player? Yes, it’s a bit old-fashioned web platform but it was quite popular in its time. This post is all about SWF files– what SWF files are, why they have become obsolete, and most importantly, how to open SWF files in the Google Chrome browser. So, how to open SWF files in Chrome and what to do in case we desperately need to work with SWF files? The good news is: there is a way to do it. SWF files are those kinds of old ones and they cannot be opened and viewed easily in our current browser like chrome.
