ARN is a rare image file format associated with the Astronomical Research Network, an American association formed in 1989. ARN files contain astronomical information and images, and can be created using software programs developed by the Network for PCs and Macs. The format is, however, incompatible with most regular image viewers, so we recommend converting it to a more accessible format.
SWF (Small Web Format) is a multimedia and vector graphics format initially created by FutureWave Software, then later on transferred to Macromedia and currently owned by Adobe. SWF files contain animations and sound, developed so as to be easily uploaded and shared on the web. They can also include certain interactive programs, such as browser games, and can be opened using a Flash plugin.
So, how to change ARN into SWF?
The quick and simple way to handle your files is to get a quality piece of software, such as reaConverter.

As you will soon realize, reaConverter will help you avoid spending countless hours trying to figure out how to convert ARNs.

Download and Install reaConverter
reaConverter is quick to download, install and launch, and you don't need to be an IT specialist in order to understand in a few minutes how it operates.
Load ARN Files
Start reaConverter and load all the .arn files you intend to convert into .swf because, as opposed to most free online converters, reaConverter supports batch conversion. So you can save the time and energy you would lose with doing repetitive operations.
Select ARNs from a folder or by drag-and-dropping them directly into the reaConverter window.
Choose Output Folder
Go to the Saving options tab and decide where you want to save new .swf files. You can also spend a few more moments to apply additional editing to the images prepared for conversion.
Select SWF as Output Format
Then pick the SWF as output format. To help you do this, a series of buttons is conveniently placed at the bottom of the reaConverter window, so you can simply press on the one you need or click Plus button to add new options.
Then simply press the Start button and your conversion will begin in no time!
