How to Turn Photos into a Slideshow Video

Tap each step to follow along in order.

  1. Select multiple photos

    In your gallery or photos app, select the photos you want to turn into a slideshow.

  2. Find the "Slideshow" or "Memories" feature

    Look for a "Create slideshow" option in the share menu or within the app itself.

  3. Add background music

    Choose a track from the built-in music options or from your own saved audio files.

  4. Choose a transition style

    Pick how the photos transition from one to the next, like a fade or slide effect.

  5. Export as a video

    Once finished, export the slideshow as a video file so you can share it easily with others.

Turn travel memories into a video

Turning a batch of photos into a single slideshow video makes travel or event photos far more moving to share than scrolling through them one by one, and adding music and transitions gives it a more polished feel.

Try editing your photos beforehand too

Using your gallery app's basic editing tools to touch up photos in advance can make the final slideshow look even better.
