## What is Custom Slideshow?

Turn your Apple TV into a photo frame for your own photos. Custom Slideshow shows the photos from your library, or from the albums you choose, at full TV resolution.

FREE TO TRY
Show all your photos free for 7 days. After that, Custom Slideshow keeps working with your 25 most recent photos for free, or you can unlock all your photos with a one-off purchase. No subscription and nothing to cancel. If you bought Custom Slideshow before it was free, everything stays unlocked.

SINGLE PHOTO OR MOSAIC
Show one photo at a time, or a mosaic of three to five photos of different shapes, with one tile changing at a time. Photos are matched to tiles that suit their shape, and cropped to keep faces and the most important part of each photo in view. Click the centre of the remote to switch between the two.

CAPTIONS
Each photo can show its title, the date it was taken and where it was taken, such as "Bruges, Belgium · Apr 2023".

YOUR CHOICE OF PHOTOS
• All Photos, or any combination of your albums, including shared albums
• Shuffled or in order
• Crossfade, or a slow pan and zoom
• Fit the whole photo on screen, or fill the screen (single photo)
• From 1 second to a minute per photo

EASY TO USE
• Swipe left or right to go back or forward (single photo)
• Press Play/Pause to pause on a photo
• Long-press the centre of the remote to open settings
• Picks up where you left off
• Shows your photos on the Top Shelf

Your photos stay private: they are only shown on your TV and are never uploaded or shared.
