Opening an FLO File

The FLO file type is primarily associated with AutomateIt.

FLO	File extension: FLO
	File type:	data file

What is an FLO file?

FLO files mostly belong to AutomateIt.

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.

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 ending includes various formats for various programs. The two most common formats are as follows:

• 45% of all FLO files start with the magic bytes LAFl, which are always the first bytes of this file format. If you open these files in a text editor, you will see only illegible characters. The files are 170 bytes to 2 KB in size, with a median of 640 bytes. The file type was created recently. The following keywords are characteristic: LAFl and android. Such files sometimes refer to veve, auto, whatsapp, view, youtube, free, automatic and vevebotcs.
• 20% of all FLO files start with the bytes PIEH crucial for this file format. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. Most of these files are 520 KB to 3 MB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: PIEH. Some examples of file names are out.flo or 20180601.flo. Files like these are about flow and frame.

All other FLO files (35%) have no consistent format, frequently e.g. iGrafx FlowCharter document and RFFlow diagram. The category is message, collectible, automation, flowchart, process, mobile, sniper, lock, root, tool or wifi. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your FLO file!
