## What is Bloom?

Bloom brings professional macro photography to your iPhone.

Using focus stacking — a technique from scientific and fine-art macro photography — Bloom automatically captures multiple exposures at different focus distances and merges them into one perfectly sharp image. The kind of depth of field that's normally impossible at macro scale.

FOCUS PEAKING
A real-time edge-detection overlay shows exactly what's in focus before you shoot. Toggle between green and red highlights to mark the sharp zones.

FIVE FOCUS MODES
More layers means more depth of field. Start free, go deeper with Bloom Pro.
• FAST (3 frames) — snappy capture, perfect for subjects with slight movement. Free.
• MID (5 frames) — balanced depth and speed for most subjects. Free.
• MAX (7 frames) — maximum depth of field for still subjects and product shots.
• ULTRA (9 frames) — for flat subjects that need to go deeper still.
• DEEP (11 frames) — the deepest depth of field Bloom can reach.

BLOOM PRO
MAX, ULTRA and DEEP unlock with Bloom Pro — a single one-time purchase of €2.99. No subscription, yours forever.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Point Bloom's camera at your subject in macro range.
2. The focus peaking overlay lights up the sharp edges.
3. Press the shutter — Bloom sweeps through the focal planes automatically.
4. The result appears in seconds: a single photo with everything sharp.

PRIVACY & PERFORMANCE
No subscription required to start. No cloud. No account. All processing happens 100% on your iPhone — offline, private, instant. Photos save to your library and a dedicated "Bloom" album.
