How to Create an MP4 Slideshow from Photos

MP4 is the most universal video format today. Phones, TVs, YouTube, Facebook and messengers play MP4 without extra codecs. With Bolide Slideshow Creator you can turn a folder of JPEG and PNG photos into a smooth MP4 slideshow with background music, transitions and optional text captions — completely free and without a watermark.

The program is made for Windows 7/8/10/11. You do not need video-editing experience: drag photos to the timeline, add a music track, pick transition effects and click Save as video file.

Why save a slideshow as MP4?

YouTube and social media — MP4 is the default upload format
Smartphones and tablets — easy to send via WhatsApp, Telegram or email
Modern TVs — play from USB stick or home network
Smaller file size than uncompressed AVI while keeping good quality up to Full HD (1920×1080)
