Use the slideshow maker to turn photos into a 9:16 video with music — drop images in, set the pacing, add a sound, export a clean MP4. Free, no watermark, nothing uploaded.
Most slideshow makers either watermark the export, cap you at a few images, or upload your photos to their servers to render. This does none of that.
A slideshow maker takes a set of still images and turns them into a single video file, holding each image for a set time and optionally laying music underneath. That sounds simple, but the details are where most tools fall down: the export resolution, whether there's a watermark, how the images are scaled to fit a vertical frame, and whether your photos leave your device.
The reason to make a video rather than post a native photo slideshow is control and portability. A video file plays anywhere, can be reused on Reels and Shorts, and can be edited later. A native slideshow lives only inside the app you posted it to.
TikTok is a 9:16 vertical platform, so the single most important setting is aspect ratio. A slideshow exported at 16:9 or 1:1 will either get letterboxed with black bars or cropped awkwardly on upload, and both look amateur.
The maker exports 9:16 by default and scales each photo to fit that frame cleanly — landscape photos are centered with padding rather than stretched, so nobody's face gets distorted. Resolution matters too: 1080x1920 is the native size, and anything lower gets visibly soft once TikTok re-compresses on upload.
The most common slideshow mistake is bad timing. Slides that flip too fast lose anyone reading text; slides that linger lose everyone else. For most content, 2 to 3 seconds per slide is the sweet spot — long enough to absorb, short enough to keep momentum.
The maker lets you set this precisely instead of accepting a fixed default, and shows you the resulting video length before you export so there are no surprises.
A slideshow with sound feels like a post; without it, a gallery. You can add any audio file and it loops to fit the video length automatically.
The important caveat: only use audio you have the rights to. Adding a commercial track and posting the video can get it muted or removed, and repeated copyright strikes hurt the account. A common safe workflow is to export the video silent, upload it to TikTok, and add a trending licensed sound from within the app.
Most free online slideshow makers work by uploading your photos to their servers, rendering there, and giving you a download link. That means your images sit on someone else's infrastructure. This maker renders entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly — there's no upload step because there's no server in the render path. The first export downloads the encoder once, then it's instant.
Yes — free covers up to 8 images at 720x1280, no watermark. A free account raises it to 30 images at 1080x1920.
No — exports are completely clean.
9:16 vertical, the native size for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
No — everything renders locally in your browser.
Yes, any audio file, looped to fit. Only use audio you have rights to.
