Ruffle is a Flash Player emulator for the web and desktop written in the Rust programming language. As browsers drop support for the Flash plugin, Ruffle hopes to reimplement the Flash Player to keep the rich legacy of content alive and accessible.

Ruffle reads SWF files and attempts to play them back just as the Flash Player does. Ruffle can run on the desktop as a standalone application or in a web browser using WebAssembly. The following platforms are currently supported:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux

• Officially supported:
  • Chrome v87 or higher
  • Edge v87 or higher (much slower with the "Enhance your security on the web" setting, see the FAQ)
  • Firefox v94 or higher
  • Safari v14.1 or higher on macOS
  • Safari v14.1 or higher on iOS and iPadOS
  • Chrome on Android
  • Firefox on Android
• Not officially supported, but may work:
  • Brave
  • Opera
  • Tor Browser (no audio due to Tor restrictions. See #1992 for more information)
  • Waterfox G3
  • Kiwi Browser
  • Yandex Browser (extension has issues, see #7279 for more information)
  • Pale Moon
  • Basilisk
  • Older versions of officially supported browsers
• Not officially supported, and does not work:
  • Internet Explorer
  • Waterfox Classic
  • Epic Privacy Browser
  • PlayStation 4 browser
  • Nintendo 3DS browser
  • Nintendo DSI browser

A browser extension for Chrome and Firefox is also available that will use Ruffle to play Flash content on web pages without any Flash plugin.

Grab a nightly build and read the usage page for instructions on how to test Ruffle.

Ruffle is still in the early stages of development, so many features are still being implemented. A current focus is adding ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0 support. Contributions are welcome! Follow the project roadmap for more information about the timeline of development.
