Auto Slideshow turns your camera roll into a polished slideshow video — no editing timeline, no learning curve. Pick your photos and videos, choose music, and export a ready-to-share MP4 with smooth fade transitions timed to the beat. HOW IT WORKS • Select any mix of photos and videos from your library • Choose from built-in music templates, or add your own tracks • Preview instantly, rotate or remove any item before exporting • Export in 360p, 720p, 1080p, or 4K BUILT FOR SIMPLICITY • Just pick media and music — Auto Slideshow handles pacing, fades, and syncing automatically • Mix photos and video clips in a single slideshow • Fine-tune your selection anytime: rotate a sideways photo, drop a shot you don't want, reorder your picks • Get notified the moment your video is ready TURN YOUR ALBUM INTO A BACKUP Select your whole album — every photo and video from a trip, a year, or your entire library — and turn it into one slideshow video. Upload it to social media or save it to your device as a second copy of your memories: if your phone's storage is ever lost or corrupted, the slideshow keeps your photos safe and watchable. YOUR MEMORIES, YOUR MUSIC Choose from a curated set of music templates, or import your own songs to make every slideshow feel personal — perfect for birthdays, trips, anniversaries, or just turning a phone full of photos into something you'll actually watch again. PRIVACY FIRST Auto Slideshow works entirely on your device. Your photos, videos, and music never leave your phone — everything is processed and exported locally. Whether you're wrapping up a vacation, celebrating a milestone, or backing up a year's worth of memories, Auto Slideshow gets you from camera roll to shareable video in a few taps.
