5 Best Free Photo Slideshow Maker Software

With the widespread of large-screen smartphones and cameras, taking photos has been a daily work, especially in some big events like Christmas celebration, graduation ceremonies, birthday parties, etc. Photo slideshow software allows you to create a slideshow of your favorite or memorable photos from your collection and turn multiple images into a standard video file for playback on your PC or other media devices.

There are quite many basic programs that will help you present photos in a singular linear fashion, similar to whipping out a handful of snapshots and handing them to a usually disinterested spectator (family, relatives, or friends).  However, a more memorable slide show adopts more complex features (like motion, music, narration, titles, transitions, etc.) to help tell a story about the photos without the distraction of out-of-sequence and poor photos.  Today I would like to share 5 best free photo slideshow maker software tools to help you create photo slideshow in an easier way.

Photo Slideshow Maker

Photo Slideshow Maker is a free photo slideshow maker software program that allows you to create photo slideshow from photos in png, jpg, jpeg and bmp formats and then convert generated photo slideshows to 180+ formats for different media players and devices.

The drawbacks of this Photo Slideshow Maker are it doesn’t add text and it is only free to create a photo slideshow video that is no more than 5 minutes.
