Homonym: SWF (Single)
SWF, or Small Web Format, is a file format used for multimedia, vector graphics, and ActionScript. Originally developed by Macromedia, it became popular for creating animations and interactive content on the web. SWF files can contain audio, video, and interactive elements, making them suitable for games and presentations.
The format is primarily associated with the Adobe Flash Player, which was used to view SWF files in web browsers. However, as web standards evolved, the use of SWF has declined significantly, leading to the discontinuation of Flash Player in 2020. This shift has encouraged developers to adopt more modern technologies like HTML5 and JavaScript.
