Adobe Flash was a multimedia software platform used for creating and playing animations, rich internet applications, and games, often featuring small file sizes and vector graphics. It was developed for the web, but due to security concerns and newer technologies, its support officially ended on December 31, 2020. Its core functionality has been succeeded by technologies like HTML5, and its authoring tool was rebranded as Adobe Animate.
