MakeThisVid is an AI photo slideshow creator that animates each photo into an 8-second 1080p video clip in under two minutes. For a multi-photo slideshow, generate individual animated clips from each photo and assemble them in a video editor. MakeThisVid generates the building blocks — each animated in its own unique motion — not an automatic multi-photo sequence in one generation. Commercial use is licensed on every plan.

AI Photo Slideshow Creator: Build Video Slideshows from Photos

Photo slideshows are more engaging with motion than as static image transitions. Instead of a click-through gallery, MakeThisVid animates each photo into its own 8-second video clip — a slow pan, a zoom reveal, an atmospheric push-in — and you assemble those clips into a slideshow sequence in your video editor. The result: a polished motion slideshow where each photo breathes and moves rather than cutting between static frames. Use it for product showcases, real estate tours, event recaps, wedding films, and portfolio presentations.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a plan based on how many photos you have

    Each photo generates one clip. Lite ($14.99/mo, 20 credits) covers 20 photos at 720p or 10 at 1080p. Pro ($79.99/mo, 200 credits) covers 200 at 720p or 100 at 1080p. One-time packs for one-off slideshows: $9.99 for 5 clips.

  2. Animate each photo individually

    Go to makethisvid.com/create. Select Photo → Video mode. Upload each photo (JPG/PNG/WebP, up to 10 MB) and write a motion prompt for each — a unique movement that suits that photo's composition.

  3. Write a distinct motion prompt for each photo

    Vary the motion across slides for a dynamic feel. Use slow push-ins for close-ups, slow pans for wide landscapes, gentle orbit for products, and subtle breathing for portrait shots. E.g. "Slow pan left revealing the full room" or "Gentle push-in toward the main subject, warm light."

  4. Generate each clip

    1 credit per 720p clip, 2 credits per 1080p clip. Renders complete in 45–90 seconds each. Credits refund automatically on failure.

  5. Assemble the slideshow in your video editor

    Download all clips. Open in CapCut, iMovie, DaVinci Resolve, or Premiere. Arrange in order, add transitions and music (your own), and export. Commercial use included on every plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. MakeThisVid generates one 8-second animated clip per photo. For a slideshow with multiple photos, generate each photo as a separate clip and assemble them in a video editor (CapCut, iMovie, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere). Each photo gets its own unique animated motion.
As many as your credits allow. Pro plan: 200 credits = 200 clips at 720p or 100 at 1080p. For larger slideshows, combine a plan with credit packs.
Ken Burns-style movements: slow push-in, slow pan, slow zoom — the cinematic techniques that make photos feel alive. Keep each motion 3–5 seconds of actual movement across the 8-second clip. Vary the direction across slides (pan left, then push-in, then pull-back) to maintain visual interest.
Yes. Every plan and credit pack includes a commercial use license. Use the slideshow video in client deliverables, property listings, product pages, or commercial presentations.
From $0.40 per photo at 720p on Pro ($79.99/mo, 200 credits) to $0.75 on Lite ($14.99/mo, 20 credits). 1080p costs 2 credits per photo. One-time packs start at $9.99 for 5 clips.
