Free Photo Slide Show

Free Photo Slide Show is a simple-to-use software application which allows you to put together multiple images in a slideshow for presentation purposes. It comes bundled with several handy options that are easy to figure out by users, even the ones with little or no experience in such applications.

Quick setup and user-friendly GUI

The installation procedure is a fast and easy task which does not require special attention. The tool is wrapped in a regular window with a plain and simple structure, where images can be added by entire directories, including or excluding subfolders. They can be sorted by name or date, and the supported formats include JPG, BMP, ICO, PNG, EMF, WMF and GIF.

Configure slideshow settings easily

It is possible to enter full screen mode, view the next or previous image in the sequence, rotate pictures, zoom in and out, change the sequence order (forward, reverse or random), disable loop mode and transition effects or change the transition duration, apply effects (e.g. random, cross fade, wipe), as well as set slides to change automatically and specify the frequency.
What's more, you can enlarge small images and reduce the large ones to fit, customize the background color or assign an image instead, make it tiled, stretched or centered, hide the status bar, as well switch to another UI language.
