Note

Any *.wav files in your FLEx data are converted to *.mp3 when uploaded to Webonary.
You may notice an increased upload time if you have many *.wav files.
FieldWorks does not support *.tif. You need to convert them.

Supported file formats for Webonary exports include:
*.wav, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, *.png, *.mp3, *.mp4, and *.3gp.

These are supported by most web browsers, including the embedded Firefox browser that FLEx uses to display entries in Dictionary.
