Opening an FLO File
The FLO file type is primarily associated with AutomateIt.
What is an FLO file?
FLO files are used by different programs and are not defined by one standard format. Their content depends on the software that created them.
These files may contain information such as:
- Automation flows: They store sequences of actions for automating Android tasks. Such files are used in apps like AutomateIt. Visit this page for more details.
- Flowchart diagrams: They contain diagram data outlining processes or decision trees. Programs such as Microsoft Visio, SmartDraw, and Flowgorithm create these files. For example, check Visio Flowchart Software or SmartDraw.
- Optical flow data: They record data used in computer vision for analyzing motion in video. OpenCV commonly handles these files. More info is available at OpenCV.
- Game resource data: They sometimes serve as resource files in games, such as those found in some From Software titles for systems like the PlayStation 2. See the game mod page for context.
FilExt.com notes: If you come across a FLO file, the first step is to identify its origin. Opening it in a text editor may reveal if it is XML based, or you might recognize it from the app that created it. Using the proper software ensures you view its intended content correctly.
How to open FLO files
You need a suitable software like AutomateIt to open an FLO file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your FLO file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a FLO file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert FLO files:
- AutomateIt
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. FLO files are often referred to as AutomateIt data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- FlowCharter (Document) by iGrafx LLCUsed to be called MicroGrafx FlowCharter. The Mime types used with this association are: application/vnd.micrografx.flo. The identifying characters used for this association are - Hex: D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1 00, ASCII: ÐÏ à¡± á .
- RFFlow (Flowchart) by RFF ElectronicsRFFlow is a tool for drawing flowcharts, organization charts, and other kinds of diagrams. You will quickly create professional-looking charts for documents, presentations, or the Web.
FLO format details:
If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the FLO files is as follows:
The FLO file extension is used very often and includes various formats for various programs. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 40% of all FLO files are Automate Flow files. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. The files are 140 bytes to 2 KB in size, with a median of 700 bytes. The file type was created recently. The following keywords are characteristic: LAFl. Such files sometimes refer to auto, whatsapp, veve, start, shizuku, automatic, message, atlas and wifi.
- 20% of all FLO files utilize the Microsoft Compound File format, also known as Composite Document File format or OLE2 compound document format. This Windows file format has features similar to those of a filesystem format with virtual files and subfolders. The Compound Document format is always starting with the bytes D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1. The globally unique identifier of this file type is c767f420-4a79-11ce-b1f0-0000c183742d or 3eb4967e-0f9e-11d2-be95-00c04f8ec1ff. The file contains sections Contents. Most of these files are 26 KB to 200 KB in size. Files like these are about process, diagram, chart, flow, tree, structure and current.
All other FLO files (40%) have no consistent format, frequently e.g. RFFlow diagram, XML and PIEH. The category is voice, android, boost, tool, mobile, apps, call or root. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your FLO file!

an flo data file is a special file format and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.
How to solve problems with FLO files
- Associate the FLO file extension with the correct application.
- Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest FLO file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available AutomateIt update.
- To make sure that your FLO file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
