SlideFlow
Create beautiful photo and video slideshows on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and TV.
Photo & Video Slideshow Maker for Mac, iPhone, and iPad
Enjoy your photos and videos like never before! SlideFlow turns them into stunning, animated slideshows on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Whether you’re creating family memories, travel videos, a wedding or birthday slideshow, or social media posts, SlideFlow helps you produce professional-looking results in minutes, with animated transitions, intelligent effects, and music-synchronized timing.
- ✨ Create breathtaking photo & video slideshows effortlessly.
- 🎵 Let the slides change on the beat of the music, like a music video.
- 🖥️ Watch instantly on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
- 📺 Cast slideshows, photos, and videos straight to your TV.
- 💌 Share your memories with family and friends.
- 🔀 Make every playback different – with varied slide order, transitions, filters, and music.
Create a beautiful slideshow in seconds using SlideFlow’s carefully designed default settings. To change the mood, pick a style – Relax, Happy, Energetic, Romantic, Dramatic – and all relevant settings are set to match. And when you want more control, customize your slideshow at every level – from the slideshow as a whole down to individual photos and videos.
SlideFlow generates slideshows on the fly instead of rendering a video first, so playback starts almost immediately. Start watching your slideshow within seconds on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or even your TV.
Build slideshows from Apple Photos, image and video files, or whole folders, mix photos and videos freely, or let SlideFlow automatically discover your memories and create slideshows based on when and where your photos and videos were captured. Create photo and video slideshows with music, smooth transitions, creative filters, and intelligent animations that zoom in on faces and subjects.
Turn the shuffles on and no two viewings are the same: SlideFlow varies the order, the transitions, the filters, and the music as the slideshow plays, so the same slideshow feels different every time you watch it, and on every loop. Leave one running on your TV at a family gathering and it never quite repeats itself. It is also a way to see your own photos again – a familiar holiday shot arriving in Noir shows you the composition rather than the memory. And because the effects are applied during playback, nothing is ever re-saved: your library keeps one untouched original instead of an edited copy for every style.
When you’re ready to share, export your slideshow as a video in 720p, 1080p, or 4K, in horizontal, vertical, or square format. Perfect for sharing on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms.
Your slideshows sync across your Apple devices with iCloud, and you can play them on compatible DLNA smart TVs over your local network – no cable, no account, and nothing to install on the television. SlideFlow is free to download and try for as long as you like, with full access via subscriptions or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Powerful Features
Instant Slideshow Playback
SlideFlow generates your slideshow on the fly, so it starts playing almost immediately – no more long waits for video generation.
Slideshow Styles
Pick a style – Relax, Happy, Energetic, Romantic, Dramatic – and all relevant settings are automatically set to match the mood. You can still adjust any setting as you like.
Advanced Export
Export or share your slideshows as MP4 videos:
- Horizontal, vertical, or square – sized for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and more.
- 720p (HD), 1080p (Full HD), or 4K (Ultra HD) resolution.
- H.264 or HEVC encoding, balancing quality and file size.
Play Slideshows on TV
Many DLNA-capable TVs are supported. Simply connect your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to the same local network as your TV via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and you’re ready to go.
Cast Photos and Videos to TV
Beam any photo or video to your TV – not just slideshows! Instantly share favorite moments in stunning fullscreen.
Mix Photos and Videos
Photos and videos belong in the same slideshow. You decide what happens to the music while a video plays: it steps aside for the video's own sound, plays on over a muted clip, or mixes quietly under it.
Never the Same Slideshow Twice
Let SlideFlow shuffle, and no two playbacks are alike – it varies the order, the look, and the music every time, so photos you have seen a hundred times keep surprising you.
Music
Add music that sets the right mood. Choose from a wide selection of built-in tracks across various genres, or add your own.
Transitions
Thirty-four transitions – dissolves, wipes, slides, whip pans, glitches and more – blend your photos into each other for a polished, professional look.
Transitions on Music Beats
Optionally synchronize slide changes with the beat of your music for a more dynamic, music-video feel. Especially effective with quick transitions and hard cuts. Works with every built-in track; your own music needs macOS 27 or iOS 27.
Animations
Bring your photos to life with smart animations, achieving the most natural and enjoyable viewing experience:
- Zoom In first introduces the environment (the full photo) and then focuses on the faces or the most interesting area.
- Zoom Out does the opposite: it begins with the people or the area of interest, then reveals the scene around them.
Powerful Customization
- Start from a style, then change any setting underneath.
- Shuffle photos & videos for a fresh slideshow each time.
- Loop slideshows to keep enjoying them endlessly.
- Customize settings for the whole slideshow, or fine-tune individual photos and videos.
Creative Filters
Apply stylish filters – Monochrome, Sepia, Chrome, Noir, and more – to see your photos and videos in a new way every time you watch.
Text & Image Overlays
Add text and image overlays on top of your slideshows – a title for the occasion, captions, or your own logo.
Photos, Files, and Folders
Build slideshows from your Photos library, image and video files, or folders – drop in a folder containing photos, videos, and music, and get a finished slideshow. Choose whether files are copied into SlideFlow or referenced in place to save space – ideal for large collections stored on external drives, which several of your devices can even share, without the media ever touching iCloud.
Automatic Slideshow Creation
Smart Selection and Filtering
Seamless Sync Across Devices
Your slideshows are synced across all your devices – Macs, iPhones, and iPads.
