Filemorph
The all-in-one file converter for iPhone and iPad
Filemorph is a powerful, privacy-first file converter for iOS that handles 300+ operations entirely on your device. Convert between 200+ file formats including images, video, audio, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, 3D models, fonts, and archives -- with zero uploads and complete privacy. Features a built-in image editor, AI-powered enhancements via on-device Core ML models, batch processing with adaptive concurrency, and deep system integration with Siri Shortcuts, widgets, Live Activities, Share extension, and the Files app.
The Challenge
Most file conversion apps require uploading files to remote servers, raising serious privacy concerns, adding latency, and limiting offline usability. Building a converter that handles hundreds of format combinations entirely on-device -- spanning images, video, audio, PDFs, documents, and more -- demands careful architecture to avoid memory issues and maintain responsive performance across the full range of iOS hardware.
- Processing 300+ conversion operations on-device without any server uploads
- Managing memory and concurrency for large video, audio, and PDF files on mobile hardware
- Supporting batch operations across different format types while keeping the UI responsive
- Integrating 20+ AI/ML models for enhancement features without bloating the app binary
Our Solution
We designed an actor-based provider architecture using Swift concurrency -- 13 specialized actors (Image, Video, Audio, PDF, Document, and more) each handle their own format domain with full thread safety. A TaskRouter dispatches work to the right provider, while a PipelineManager chains multi-step conversions. Device-adaptive concurrency scales from 3 parallel jobs on iPhone to 6 on M-series iPads. Core ML models are downloaded on-demand so the app stays lightweight while offering powerful AI features like photo restoration, upscaling, and colorization.
- 13 Swift actors providing thread-safe, domain-specific file processing
- Device-adaptive concurrency that scales automatically from iPhone to iPad Pro
- On-demand Core ML model downloads keeping the app lightweight with powerful AI capabilities
- Deep system integration: 15 Siri Shortcuts, widgets, Live Activities, Share extension, Files app
