PhotoStage creates video slideshows from digital pictures, photos, video files, music, and narration. It is available for Windows, macOS, iPad/iOS, and Android, and slideshow creation can be done offline. Users can arrange slides by dragging them or choose Quick Create, then apply transitions, zoom, crop, fade, pan, and Ken Burns effects. Image adjustments include brightness, color, and saturation, alongside cropping, rotation, flipping, captions, and animated titles. For audio, users can add music and effects or record or import narration; a royalty-free sound effects and music library is available. Slideshows can be burned to DVD, uploaded directly to YouTube, Vimeo, or Flickr, saved to mobile devices, or exported as HTML5 video. Output supports 4K and full HD, including 720p and 1080p. The free version costs 0.00 USD per free, does not expire, includes most features, and is restricted to non-commercial use. The product is presented for personal slideshows and business presentations such as real estate, product showcases, and marketing.
