Fade
The next picture comes up through this one. Kind to weddings, birthdays and slow songs.
Music slideshow maker
Add a song and your pictures. They change on their own in the order you set, with a slow zoom if you like, and the video is made here on your device.
Open an MP3 or WAV, or a song you made here, then add up to 20 pictures and put them in order. Pick how one becomes the next (a fade, a slide or a straight cut) and how long each stays, then press Record. The song plays once and you save the video. It costs nothing and you don’t need an account.

Three ways one picture becomes the next
Frames taken from the maker in the middle of a change, with the same two pictures each time.
Slide
The next picture pushes in from the right. It feels like turning the pages of an album.
Cut
Nothing in between, just the next picture. Best with short times and busy songs.

Questions about the music slideshow maker
How many photos can a slideshow have?
Up to 20. Very large photos are made smaller on your device first, so the video stays smooth.
How long does each photo stay on screen?
By default the song is shared out equally, so 12 photos on a 3-minute song get 15 seconds each. You can fix it at 4 or 8 seconds instead, and the photos repeat if the song is longer.
Are my photos sent to a server?
No. The pictures and the song are read and joined by your browser, and the finished file is saved straight to your device.
Will the finished video carry a logo?
No. You see your pictures and any title you type, and nothing else.
What if I’m one photo short?
Write what the picture should show and the maker draws it, in the shape of your video, for 2 credits. That needs an account; everything else here is free.
Why does recording take as long as the song?
The video is captured while the song plays, so a 3-minute song takes 3 minutes. Keep the tab open until it finishes.
