Google Swiffy – Flash to HTML5 Converter

Google has launched its new service called Google Swiffy in the labs. Google was constantly involved in development of HTML5. HTML5 was revolutionary and has so many new capabilities that the flash contents are no longer needed as these can be coded using HTML5 tags along with some JavaScript. HTML5 enabled animations and interactivity in browsers and devices that did not support flash. Even the iPhone’s iOS doesn’t support Flash and hence HTML5 is a sigh of relief for the iPhone users.

If you have a website with lot of Flash objects and if you’re worried of the new HTML5 invasion, then you don’t have to worry anymore. Answer is Google Swiffy. Google Swiffy is a flash to HTML5 converter. It is still in its early version and hence not yet ready to convert complicated SWFs (flash files) to HTML5 and it may take some time for it to convert flash games and programs. But you can easily convert simple banners and animations that you have in SWF formats. Just upload the SWF file and get the HTML code. By converting SWF to HTML5, you can make your website view-able on any browser that supports SVG, JavaScript and CSS3.

I just wish this comes out of the labs as a fully fledged SWF-to-HTML5 converter.
