What is fli file?
File type category:
Digital video and movie file
Date updated: June 23, 2025
Autodesk Animator animation old format (Autodesk FLIC format), a format developed by Autodesk that is designed for storing brief animations.
FLI is limited to images 320 by 200 pixels and allows a palette of 256 colors (although the palette can be changed from line to line to give more colors per frame).
FLI is based on a fixed frame rate specified in "ticks per frame" (there are 70 ticks per second), and has an implicit 6:5 aspect ratio.
All FLI animations must loop, but in practice this requirement is often ignored. The image data in FLI files is compressed using a Run-length compression scheme. This is suitable for animations, but is inappropriate for videos or dithered images.
