📽️ Slideshow Video Maker

The dependable way to turn stills into video: your images become a 1280×720 MP4 with smooth Ken Burns pan-and-zoom, rendered by FFmpeg on your own device. Nothing uploads, ever.

About this tool

This maker renders on your device with the same in-browser FFmpeg engine as our Video Compressor (a one-time ~32 MB download, then cached). Each image is fitted to 1280×720 and given a smooth zoompan move — the Ken Burns effect documentary channels use to keep stills alive — then the segments are joined with a proper re-encode so the final MP4 plays cleanly on every phone and uploads straight to YouTube.

Best uses: turning AI Image Generator stills into a narrated video bed (add your voiceover in your editor), photo stories, before/after sequences, product galleries, and memorial/tribute videos. Order matters — the file picker keeps your selection order; rename files 01, 02, 03… if your device sorts differently. For AI-animated motion from a single image, see the Image to Video Generator; for instant, private, watermark-free slideshows, this is the tool.

How to use it

  1. Choose up to 12 images in story order.
  2. Set seconds per image (3 is a natural storytelling pace).
  3. Pick a motion style — Alternate looks most professional.
  4. Press Make, wait for the render, then play and download.

Tips from real creator workflows

  • Match image count to your narration: one image per spoken sentence feels right.
  • Use the AI Image Generator's 16:9 size so nothing important is cropped.
  • Render a COPY of your best images — keep originals untouched in your gallery.

Frequently asked questions

Is anything uploaded?

No — rendering happens entirely in your browser with WebAssembly FFmpeg. Close the tab and nothing remains anywhere.

Can I add music or voice?

Not inside this tool — download the video and add audio in any editor (or YouTube Studio's editor) so you keep full control of levels and timing.

Why 1280×720?

It is the sweet spot for in-browser rendering speed and YouTube quality. For a 1080p master, render your slideshow in a desktop editor from the same images.
