VidFloat plays videos from the Files app in a floating Picture in Picture window that stays on top while you use other apps. Open a video, start playback, swipe home. The video keeps playing in a small window you can move, resize, and pin anywhere on screen. WHAT IT DOES - Opens videos straight from the Files app, iCloud Drive, and USB drives - Picture in Picture over any app: read, chat, browse while watching - Auto-PiP: swipe home during playback and the video floats automatically - Full-screen player with scrubbing, 10-second skip, and AirPlay - Keeps audio playing in the background - Recents grid with thumbnails so you can jump back into a video fast - Drop files into the VidFloat folder in Files and they appear in the app on their own WHAT IT DOESN'T DO - No account, no sign-up - No uploads: your videos never leave your device - No tracking, no ads Supports MP4, MOV, M4V and other iOS-native video formats.

Convert photos, video, audio and PDFs on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded โ€” every conversion runs on the device, so a 4K video never leaves your hands and nothing waits on a server. CHANGING FORMAT IS FREE โ€ข Photos โ€” HEIC, JPEG, PNG, TIFF. WebP and Apple ProRAW open too. โ€ข Video โ€” MP4 (H.264) for anywhere, HEVC for half the size, or GIF. โ€ข Audio โ€” MP3, M4A, WAV. โ€ข PDF โ€” images to a PDF, or a PDF back to images. One file at a time, with no limit on how many you convert, no watermark, no ads and no account. Converting several at once is part of Pro. PRO ADDS THE TOOLS โ€ข Compress to a size โ€” hit 25 MB for mail, or 10 MB for chat. Photos land at or under the number you pick. โ€ข Resize โ€” half or a quarter of the pixels. โ€ข Change speed โ€” 0.5ร— to 2ร—, with the pitch kept. โ€ข Extract audio โ€” a video's soundtrack as MP3 or M4A. โ€ข Remove sound โ€” a silent copy of a video, the picture untouched. โ€ข Merge PDFs โ€” several into one, in the order you choose. โ€ข Compress a PDF โ€” smaller pictures inside, the text still selectable. โ€ข Remove metadata from photos and video โ€” location only, or everything. The picture is copied, not re-encoded, so nothing is lost. โ€ข Convert several files in one go. One payment. Not monthly, not yearly. BEFORE YOU CONVERT, NOT AFTER Most conversions show what the file will weigh before you tap โ€” measured, not guessed, for photos and audio. Where a size cannot honestly be known before encoding, as with GIF, no number is shown rather than a wrong one. Most converters tell you afterwards. FROM THE SHARE SHEET Convert straight from Photos or Files without opening the app. ConverterKit appears under More the first time; tap More โ€บ Edit to pin it. Requires iOS 26. iPhone only.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VidFloat at none against ConverterKit's 1. VidFloat also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
