HexaConverter converts your files entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing touches a server, and there is no account to create. The app declares no internet permission at all — so it is not technically capable of sending your files anywhere. That is not a promise, it is a property you can check. WHAT IT CONVERTS Images — PNG, JPG, BMP, GIF and TIFF, with WebP read as input. Resize to a bound, crop to a shape, and set JPEG quality. PDF — merge several documents, split into single pages, rotate, compress, and extract the text layer to a file. Documents — Markdown, HTML, plain text, CSV and JSON, in the pairs that convert faithfully. Plus text to PDF. Audio — MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV and OGG, at a bitrate you choose. Convert a batch and it keeps going while you use the rest of the app. Video — change the container, trim without re-encoding, compress, or pull out the audio track. Archives — create and extract ZIP, TAR and GZ. Protect a ZIP with AES-256, which opens in 7-Zip, WinZip and Keka. Scan — photograph pages one after another and bind them into a single PDF. Reorder by dragging, and add a line of text under any page. Erase metadata — strip EXIF, XMP and IPTC from a JPEG or PNG without recompressing the picture. The pixels are copied across untouched. FREE, AND THAT IS ALL Every feature is free. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no trial. GOOD TO KNOW Some limits are real, and we would rather you read them here than discover them after installing: • Office formats — DOCX, XLSX and PPTX — are not supported. There is no faithful way to convert them on a phone, and doing it properly would mean uploading your file to a server. That would break the one thing this app is for. • Video re-encoding produces WebM. HexaConverter links an LGPL build of FFmpeg, which carries no H.264 encoder, so "compress to MP4" is not something it can honestly offer. • Changing a video container copies the existing streams rather than re-encoding them, so it works only where the target format can carry those codecs. • Trimming a video cuts on keyframes, so the cut may land slightly before the point you set. • Text exported to PDF uses a standard font covering Latin characters only. Files stay on your phone. Convert them there.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HexaConverter at none against Video Compressor's 2. HexaConverter also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Video Compressor's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
