SWFTools is a suite of software tools to create and manipulate SWF files. SWFTools runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and several other Unix-like systems.

SWFTools is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License and is thus free software.

The central tool is swfc which takes as input a description of a Flash animation in a simple language and creates as output an SWF file. It is possible to include ActionScript scripts into the generated SWF file. SWFTools also includes the RFXSWF Library which allows to write programs that generate SWF.

In addition SWFTools includes a number of tools to convert content in the PDF, JPEG, GIF, WAV and AVI formats to SWF, and others to extract information and content from existing SWF files.
