Turn Your Photos into Videos with Music

GiliSoft Slideshow Maker turns photos and video clips into a complete slideshow video on Windows. Bring your pictures together, add a soundtrack, and create wedding memories, birthday videos, travel stories, event recaps, or product presentations.

Arrange scenes on the multi-track timeline and control how the story unfolds. Reorder photos and clips, adjust scene timing, and connect moments with transitions. Keep pictures, text, music, narration, and layered visuals on separate tracks so each part is easy to work with.

Add background music and record voiceover to explain a lesson, introduce a product, or narrate a personal memory. Use titles, captions, subtitles, filters, frames, split-screen effects, and animated stickers to give each scene its own look.

Preview the complete project in the built-in player, then export the finished video for your audience. Whether you are organizing family photos, preparing a classroom presentation, or creating a business photo video, the editing tools stay together in one workspace.

Slideshow Maker FAQ

How do I make a photo slideshow with music?

Import your photos, add them to the Video track, and arrange them in the order you want. Place your music on the Audio track, adjust its position against the slideshow, and preview the beginning, scene changes, and ending before exporting the video.

Can I combine photos and video clips in one slideshow?

Yes. Import pictures and video clips into the same project and place them on the Video track. Reorder the scenes, add transitions between them, and use the built-in player to check the complete sequence.

Can I add voiceover, titles, and subtitles?

Yes. Keep background music on Audio and narration on the separate Voiceover track. Open Text to choose title and caption templates, use Add Subtitles or Import subtitle, and place the text on its own track. Preview the wording and timing together with the soundtrack.

Can I preview transitions and effects before export?

Yes. Preview scene transitions, text, filters, effects, overlays, and animated stickers in the built-in player. Place transitions between scenes and use the Effects or PIP tracks for layered visual elements, then play through the scene to check the combined result.

Why does an imported photo not appear in my slideshow?

Importing adds the photo to the media library. Add it to the Video track to include it in the slideshow, then move the playhead over that scene and preview it. Check the scene order and duration if it appears at a different point in the project.

How do I create the finished slideshow video?

Play the project from beginning to end, then click Export and choose the output settings and destination. After export, open the completed video in a player to check the picture, music, narration, and text. The user guide covers the full workflow.
