CHOOSE YOUR SETTINGS Pick a quality or resolution preset to balance file size and picture quality. Keep the original audio or remove it from the compressed copy.

SAVE AND SHARE Save individual results to your photo library or share them through the iOS share sheet. Prepare smaller copies for messages, email, uploads and backups. KEEP YOUR ORIGINALS Compression runs on your device and creates separate copies. Your original videos remain untouched, so you decide what to keep. GET MORE WITH PREMIUM Remove ads, save or share all compressed videos together, and view a detailed summary of total sizes and space saved. Core compression, quality and audio controls, previews, and individual saving and sharing are available without Premium. The free experience includes ads. Premium is available through an optional weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your App Store account settings. Final file size and visual quality depend on the source video and selected settings. Privacy Policy: https://owlspeak.web.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://owlspeak.web.app/terms

Bloom converts files on your iPhone. Not on a server somewhere — on the device in your hand. Drop in a photo, a video, a song, a document. Bloom works out what it actually is by reading the file itself rather than trusting its name, shows you every format it can become, and converts it in about a second. A flower opens while it works. When the flower is open, you're done. NOTHING IS EVER UPLOADED Most converters ask you to hand your files to a stranger's server. Bloom has no server. Turn on airplane mode and it behaves exactly the same, because nothing was ever going anywhere. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. WHAT IT CONVERTS Images — HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, BMP, GIF, RAW, PDF Video — MOV, MP4, M4V, AVI, MKV, WebM, and to GIF Audio — MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, AIFF, CAF Documents — TXT, Markdown, HTML, JSON, CSV, XML, EPUB, PDF BUILT FOR YOUR IPHONE A camera recording usually converts without re-encoding at all, so it takes a second and loses nothing. Spatial audio and orientation are handled properly. Live Text, Shortcuts and the share sheet all work. THOUGHTFUL THROUGHOUT Five themes with matching icons. Size estimates before you commit. VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion supported properly. History that cleans up after itself so it never quietly fills your phone. FREE, AND PRO Three conversions a day are free forever, with no account. Bloom Pro removes the limit and adds batch conversion, highest-quality output, image compression and every theme. $19.99/year with a 3-day free trial, or $4.99/month.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Bloom at none against Video Compressor's shown. Video Compressor's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
