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.
