Question

Where do I find the slideshow after I have created it?

Mr c

Top Answerer

You can usually find it in the app where you created it. Look for the app icon on your home screen or in your app library, and open it to access your saved slideshows. If you've saved it in a specific folder or location, navigate to that location within the app to find your slideshow.

How can I display only one image at a time? I see 2 or 3 images per screen.

Question

Why does my slideshow stop at 184 photos when I have 488 photos in the album?

Fathima Rahda Kallilandy

Community Answer

Some photo viewers may limit the number of images in a slideshow due to memory or performance issues, file size limitations, or temporary bugs. Try breaking the album into smaller folders or check the platform’s support page for any known slideshow limits. Additionally, ensure there are no corrupt or unsupported files and check slideshow settings for limits. Closing other apps may help if it's a RAM issue, and ensure your album is fully synced if using a cloud platform.

Question

How can I slow down a slideshow and make each slide display as a full picture?

Amélie F

Community Answer

On PowerPoint, you can use the "Transitions" option to adjust the speed. To apply a transition to all slides, use the "Apply to All" feature. To make the slides full-screen, you can click the play button icon on the top left or bottom right of the screen, or use the slideshow option with the same icon.

Question

How can I add my own music to my slideshow?

Jacqueline Mitchell

Community Answer

In PowerPoint, you can add audio by clicking 'Insert' and scrolling from 'New Slide' to the microphone icon, which is between 'SmartArt' and 'Link.' It's best to have the music you want already on your device and play it when you start your slideshow.

Question

Is there a min/max size and resolution for photos in a slideshow? What do you find are the best for you?

THE BEST SOLUTIONS

Community Answer

The minimum and maximum size and resolution for photos in a slideshow will depend on the platform or tool that you are using to create the slideshow. In general, it is a good idea to follow the guidelines provided by the platform or tool to ensure that your photos display properly. However, there are some general best practices that you can follow when creating a slideshow. To ensure that your photos look sharp and clear in the slideshow, use high-quality images with a resolution of at least 1920 x 1080 pixels. To ensure that your slideshow loads quickly and smoothly, optimize your images for the web by compressing them and reducing their file size.
