Import Photos and Short Video Clips
Drag local pictures and video clips into the media library, preview each source, and place selected items into the slideshow project.
Turn photos and short clips into polished slideshow videos for weddings, birthdays, travel recaps, graduations, business updates, and social sharing.
GiliSoft Slideshow Maker helps Windows users turn photo collections and short clips into structured video stories. Import local media, arrange scenes on a multi-track timeline, add music or voiceover, build titles and subtitles, apply transitions, filters, effects, overlays, and animated stickers, then preview the complete project before export.
Use it for wedding and birthday memories, travel recaps, school events, product photo videos, training summaries, and other projects where visual storytelling matters more than frame-by-frame video editing. For macOS users, see Slideshow Maker for macOS.
Drag local pictures and video clips into the media library, preview each source, and place selected items into the slideshow project.
Build the project across dedicated Video, PIP, Text, Audio, Voiceover, and Effects tracks so every element stays visible and easy to adjust.
Browse categorized transitions including basic, camera movement, shape, slide, cover, grid, and other styles, then preview the change between scenes.
Add titles, lower thirds, speech bubbles, credits, and other text layouts, or import subtitle content and place it on the Text track.
Add background music to the Audio track, record microphone narration, and keep voiceover material on a separate Voiceover track for clearer timing and mixing.
Use visual effects, filters, overlays, frames, split-screen layouts, and other presentation styles to give photo sequences a more finished look.
Add animated accents, emoji, outdoor graphics, hand-painted elements, holiday stickers, and other overlays on separate timeline layers.
Combine photos, clips, text, and visual elements on PIP tracks to create comparisons, framed scenes, collages, and richer photo stories.
Adjust how long each scene remains visible and choose a project aspect ratio that fits widescreen displays, presentations, or other playback destinations.
Review timing, aspect ratio, layers, sound, transitions, and effects in the built-in player before exporting the completed slideshow video.
We turn event photos into recap videos quickly, and the transition presets make final output look more polished.

The music timing tools helped us avoid awkward gaps between slide duration and background tracks.
