What is flc file?

File type category:
Digital video and movie file

Date updated: March 24, 2024

The flc file extension is related to Autodesk FLC format. This is the format developed by AutoDesk that is designed for storing brief animations. It is a successor to FLI.

FLC can store images of variable size, and allows a palette of 256 colors (although the palette can be changed from line to line to give more colors per frame).

FLC supports a variable frame rate specified in frames a fixed frame rate specified in milliseconds per frame, and maintains information about the original aspect ratio. In theory, all FLC animations must loop, but in practice this requirement is often ignored.

The image data in FLC files is compressed using a Run-length compression scheme. This is suitable for animations, but is inappropriate for videos or dithered images. As mentioned, the FLC format is a successor to (and close cousin of), the older FLI format.

FIGlet control file

File type category:
Various data file

Date updated: September 27, 2026

FIGlet is a multiplatform tool for converting text to large ASCII art lettering. Its .flc files contain control information used by FIGlet when processing input characters.

A control file works with FIGlet font files and other settings during text rendering. It is a FIGlet-specific support file.

How to open flc file?

Use FIGlet on a supported platform and provide the .flc file as its control file when processing text. The exact control-file option depends on the FIGlet installation.

A text editor can display the file, but changing its contents may affect how FIGlet interprets input characters.

How to convert flc file?

A .flc file is a control file rather than rendered text, so it is not converted directly into FIGlet artwork. Keep it in the format expected by FIGlet.

To obtain output in another form, use FIGlet with the control file and save or redirect the generated ASCII art as text. This creates a separate output file and does not convert the control file itself.
