Frequently Asked Questions
- Who is FL Studio Web for - FL Studio Web is designed for people getting started in music production. It’s for those curious to try making something without installing complex software. Consequently, FL Studio Web and its plugin library focuses on the essentials - so new users can learn quickly and start producing with minimum downtime. When they are ready to step, there's FL Studio for macOS and Windows. On that note ...
- Are projects compatible with FL Studio? - Yes. We see FL Studio desktop as the next step for those who want to move to a fully featured music production environment. To facilitate that transfer, FL Studio Web projects show in the FL Studio 2025.2 (and later) Browser under the 'My FL Studio Web Projects' folder. They are .flp files and you can open them just as you would any locally made project.
- Are FL Studio Desktop projects compatible with FL Studio Web? - No. Moving projects from FL Studio Desktop to Web is not currently supported, because FL Studio Desktop supports a range of features and plugins that don't exist on FL Studio Web. We will see what can be done here in future.
- What about FL Studio and FL Studio Mobile? - FL Studio Web is built for the browser - designed to complement, not replace, our Desktop and Mobile apps. Each platform plays a distinct role in our music production ecosystem. Our promise remains: FL Studio Desktop will continue to receive Lifetime Free Updates. FL Studio Mobile remains our flagship for Android and iOS phones. FL Studio Web, by contrast, is optimized for larger screens - desktop computers or large tablets - not smaller mobile devices.
- What browser can I use? - FL Studio Web works best in Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers (such as Edge or Brave). Non-Chromium browsers may experience issues.
- Will we be able to save FL Studio Desktop projects to the cloud? - We plan to include this feature with FL Studio 2026. Allowing users to save desktop projects (and their content) to the cloud so you can more easily transfer them between installations.
- Is FL Studio Web taking attention away from FL Studio (Desktop & Mobile) development? - Each product is developed by an independent team. Some coordination is needed for cross-application features, but this doesn't slow down Desktop or Mobile development in any significant way. There are also spin-off benefits - FL Studio Slicer 2 (FL Studio 20205.2) was made for FL Studio Web and ported to Desktop. Similarly, in FL Studio, the work done to load FL Studio Web projects from the cloud, is also necessary work for FL Studio desktop online project archive and sharing. We expect a stream of plugins, tools and features developed for FL Studio Web to make their way into FL Studio Mobile and FL Studio Desktop. In short, expect more of everything, not less.
