Ever had an audio clip you wanted to post on social media, but couldn't because it's just an audio file? AudioReel solves exactly that: it takes your audio and photos and turns them into a finished video. MULTIPLE AUDIO FILES Add as many audio files as you like and join them into one video. Set their order by dragging, listen to each one before you create the video, and choose whether they play back to back or blend smoothly into one another. PHOTOS IN YOUR ORDER Add photos, reorder them, give each one its own caption. Choose whether they are spread evenly across the audio or each shows for a fixed time, with a smooth cross-fade between them. QUALITY UP TO 4K Landscape, portrait, square or automatic. The resolution rises on its own to match your photos, from 1080p up to 4K, and never enlarges them artificially. The codec is chosen smartly: H.264 for maximum compatibility, HEVC at high resolutions for a smaller file. TEXT ON THE VIDEO Add a message that appears on the video. Short text stays still; longer text scrolls slowly so it can be read in full. YOUR OWN FILE NAME Decide what the exported video will be called. OPEN FROM THE SHARE SHEET Share an audio file from any app and AudioReel opens with the audio already loaded. ACCESSIBLE FROM THE GROUND UP AudioReel is fully compatible with VoiceOver. Everything is spoken, every action is confirmed with an announcement, and reordering works through accessible actions, not just dragging. SIX LANGUAGES Greek, English, German, French, Spanish and Italian, with a built-in manual in every language. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, NO ADS Everything happens locally on your device. No account needed, no data collected, nothing ever leaves your iPhone.
