WOW Slider

WOW Slider is a feature-rich software application that lets you create, design and publish stylish and modern galleries for your websites in a few simple steps.

Supported file formats

The interface of the tool is user-friendly. WOW Slider supports plenty of image types, such as BMP, DIB, JPG, GIF and EMF. These can be imported from the hard drive, Flickr, Photobucket or Picasa.

Image management features

You can add as many pictures as you want in the gallery, change their title, assign URLs and targets (self, blank, parent), add descriptions, as well as rotate and arrange the images in the gallery.

Work with customizable gallery templates

WOW Slider includes a few gallery templates to choose from, such as 'Flat,' 'Plastic,' 'Studio,' 'Cloud' and 'Drive.' It is possible to modify the image size, fill color and quality, transition effect (e.g. blur, fade, fly), delay between slides and effect duration.

Personalize and export your galleries

Furthermore, you can attach a sound track (MP3 format), remove frames and shadows, toggle between bullet navigation and filmstrip mode, specify the thumbnail size, display 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons, and others. When the project is completed, you can publish it to a folder or FTP server, insert it into an HTML page, create a module for Joomla!, or turn it into a Wordpress slider.

Performance

WOW Slider supports multiple language for the interface, includes a comprehensive user documentation and rapidly publishes a project, without causing us any problems throughout our evaluation; the operating system did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. The app requires a moderate quantity of CPU and system memory.

Final thought

The only downside to the tool is that you cannot preview the gallery. Other than that, WOW Slider integrates a wide range of powerful yet intuitive configuration options for users of all skill levels who want to create beautiful galleries for their websites.
