Create a wedding, Nikah or baby slideshow video from your photos

Use Smart Slideshow to turn photos into a video with names, chapter cards, slow zoom, transitions, a frame and music, then export it.

Frames from an Indian wedding slideshow made in Kreeato: intro card, Haldi chapter, photos and decorative frames

Smart Slideshow builds a complete video from a folder of photos. You choose a theme and type the names; Kreeato adds the title card, chapter cards, a slow zoom on every photo, transitions, a matching frame, music and an end card. Everything lands on the normal timeline, so you can still change any part of it.

Step 1: Open Smart Slideshow

Click 💍 Slideshow on the Home screen, or open the Video app and click 💍 Smart Slideshow in the left panel.

Step 2: Fill in the details

  1. Theme: pick one from the table above.
  2. Format: 16:9 for YouTube and TV, 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and WhatsApp status, or 1:1 for an Instagram post.
  3. Names and date: these appear on the intro card, for example "Priya weds Rahul · 12 December 2026".
  4. Seconds per photo: 3 to 4 seconds feels relaxed; 2 seconds suits a fast reel.
  5. Photo transition: Dissolve is calm, Slide and Wipe feel lively, and Mix of all varies them.

Step 3: Add photos and music

Click 📷 Add photos and select all of them at once. Put them in order on your computer first (renaming them 01, 02, 03… works well), because Kreeato keeps the order you give it. Chapter cards appear when you have at least as many photos as chapters; with fewer photos you get the intro and end card only.

Music is optional. Use a song you have the right to use, especially if you will post the video publicly. Kreeato fades it in at the start and out at the end, and repeats it if the song is shorter than the video.

Step 4: Build and review

Click Build my video and press Play. Things you might want to change:

  • Text on a card: click it on the Titles track and type. Names, dates and chapter titles are ordinary titles.
  • One photo too long or short: drag the edge of its clip on the timeline.
  • Frame: change or remove it from the Project panel, or choose 🖼 Frames for 14 options, from marigold toran and mandap arch to church bells and Nikah lanterns.

The finished slideshow is an ordinary timeline you can edit.

Step 5: Export

Click Export. Kreeato plays the video while it records it, so a one-minute slideshow takes about one minute to export. Keep the tab in front while it works. The file downloads as WebM, which plays in browsers, WhatsApp desktop and YouTube uploads.

Tip. For a long wedding album, make one video per function (Haldi, Sangeet, Pheras) instead of one very long video. Short videos are easier to share and quicker to export.
