9 best apps for building presentations in iOS

You can create presentations from an iPhone or iPad, with nearly all the bells and whistles to make them more visual and less boring.

Slideshow presentations can be notoriously snooze-worthy. Nearly all of us can remember sitting patiently while someone flipped through a seemingly endless stream of slides. Most people have realized that when it comes to presentations, less is more and being visual is better than putting all of our bullet points in each slide.

Our tools for creating presentations have also taken a big leap forward, and we can even create top-notch slideshows on iPhones and iPads, including the use of effects, transitions, video clips , background music, narration and captions.

Here are nine presentation apps for iOS that can get the job done.

Then play from your device, broadcast to your TV or share via the cloud.

Google Slides

The Google Slides app ( download on iOS ) lets you make, tweak, collaborate with colleagues and finally share or present slideshows directly from your phone. Make beautiful slides instantly or customize them to your heart's content. You can also work with PowerPoint slides in Google Slides.

Apple's Keynote app ( download on iOS ) helps you create beautiful slideshow presentations. Start by choosing one of 30 Apple-designed themes and then replace the dummy text and graphics with your own. Add pictures, videos, interactive charts, cinematic animations and elegant transitions. Collaborate with colleagues in real time over iCloud and when you're ready, present in person or remotely using Keynote Live.

Haiku Deck ( download on iOS ) allows you to easily create wow-worthy presentations on your iPhone or iPad . Get access to more than 40 million free-to-use photos; cool fonts, text templates and layouts; and the ability to create professional-looking charts with basic touch controls.

Adobe Spark Video

Adobe Spark Video ( download on iOS ) lets anyone -- from novices to experts -- create video presentations. Easily splice together video clips, photos, text overlays, music and even your own narration, and the app will handle the rest.

Why i'm glad i bought the m4 ipad pro over the surface pro, why i regret buying an android tablet instead of an ipad.

Whether if it’s on a vacation or simply in daily life, you have probably taken a lot of photos over the years, and now they’re all accumulated in your iPhone’s Photos app. Every one of them is too precious to delete. By making a slideshow, you can enjoy your pictures from a different perspective and share the joy of them with your family and friends.

Let’s look at three ways to make a slideshow on your iPhone using your device’s built-in methods. We’ll also introduce a top-rated app you can use if you want full control over your slideshow’s customization.

1. How to Make a Slideshow on Your iPhone Using the Photos App

Using the Photos App is the quickest way to create a slideshow on your iPhone. Here’s how:

• Go to the Photos app.
• Tap to Select to select the images and videos you want to use to make a slideshow.
• Tap the Share icon.
• Select Slideshow .

If you have thousands of photos on your iPhone, scrolling up and down endlessly to find related pictures can be tedious. You can filter your photos by selecting the Library tab and choosing Years , Months , or Days for easier navigation.

Another method is to use the Search tab. Using AI technology, your iPhone already organizes some of your photos into albums based on the image subject—for example, cats. You can also type keywords into the search bar to obtain the relevant pictures.

As you select photos for your slideshow, it’s best to gradually add them to a new album for this specific purpose. You wouldn’t want to start selecting pictures all over again should you accidentally deselect pictures or. worse, involuntarily exit the Photos app.

How to Customize Your Slideshow in Your iPhone’s Photos App

By default, your iPhone chooses the Origami theme and soundtrack for your slideshow. Origami gives a jingling, relaxing vibe. The other theme options available are Dissolve, Magazine, Push, and Ken Burns.

To customize your slideshow, tap the playing slideshow to bring up the bottom menu. Next, select Options to view the theme and soundtrack choices. You can also change the speed of your slideshow using the turtle-rabbit speed slider.

How to Save Your Slideshow in Your iPhone’s Photos App

So far, there’s no way to save a slideshow you created using this direct Photos app method. A workaround is to record your iPhone screen as the slideshow is playing. Then, trim off the imperfect start and end.

In the Photos app, you can only save a Memories slideshow. A Memories slideshow is a curated collection of photos your iPhone creates, such as “Year in Review.” Check out our complete guide on how to create a Memories slideshow on your iPhone .

2. How to Make a Slideshow on Your iPhone Using iMovie

iMovie is the default video editing software on Apple’s devices. You might already have iMovie preinstalled on your iPhone, but if not, you can download it for free from the App Store . Using iMovie allows greater customization for your slideshow.

Here’s how to create a slideshow in your iPhone’s iMovie app:

• On iMovie’s main screen, select Create Project (+) .
• Choose Movie .
• Select all the pictures you want to include in your slideshow.
• Then, tap Create Movie .

You can add more photos in-between the others by following these instructions:

• Drag the playhead (the white line) to the position where you want to add a new photo or video.
• Tap Add (+) .
• Select Photos , Albums , or Videos . This depends on where your content is located.

Next, let’s cover the basic customizations you can apply: photo display duration, theme, and transition effects.

How to Change the Photo Display Duration in iMovie

In iMovie, you can shorten or lengthen the time in which a photo is displayed on the screen. Here’s how:

• Tap the photo to select it.
• Drag the yellow handles to make the photo display duration shorter or longer.

How to Customize the Slideshow Theme and Audio in iMovie

To customize how your slideshow appears:

• Tap anywhere on the black background to deselect your photo.
• Tap the Settings icon at the bottom right.
• Choose from a variety of themes, such as Travel, Playful, and Bright.
• To use the theme’s corresponding soundtrack, turn on Theme Soundtrack .

How to Change Slideshow Transition Effect in iMovie

To choose different transitions to use between photos in your slideshow:

• Tap to select the existing transition effect. This brings up a horizontal list of transition effects.
• iMovie has common effects like Slide, Wipe, and Fade.
• You can also change the transition duration from 0.5 to 2.0 seconds.

How to Save a Slideshow in Your iPhone’s iMovie App

Once you’ve completed your slideshow, here’s how to save it:

• In your project, tap Done in the top-left corner.
• Select Save Video . iMovie will export and save your slideshow in the Photos app.

3. How to Make a Slideshow on Your iPhone Using Splice

With more than 200,000 ratings, Splice is one of the most popular video-editing apps for iOS. You can download it for free from your iPhone’s App Store. Splice may suit you best if you already have some experience in video editing and prefer full control over your slideshow.

Tap New Project to start adding images and videos to your slideshow. Once all your media is loaded, there is a wide range of customization options you can apply. For example, in terms of transition effects, you can find twice the variety in Splice compared to iMovie.

You can also adjust each individual image setting, add text and captions, or incorporate interesting sounds from Splice’s audio library.

Download: Splice (Free, in-app purchases available)

Create Beautiful Slideshows on Your iPhone

There are three main ways to make a slideshow on your iPhone. First, you can use the Photos app. Second, check out Apple’s built-in video editing app, iMovie. Third, explore the App Store and use third-party apps like Splice to create your slideshow.

Explore a curated selection of paid and free slideshow apps for your smartphone to transform your photos and videos into captivating presentations.

Mobile Apps | Software | By Stephan Jukic

This guide will take you through the best slideshow apps for smartphones (and more).

There’s nothing better than getting creative with the photos and videos you’ve taken and sharing the results with friends and family.

Of course, making these kinds of slideshows can have professional uses too and help you succeed in your job.

While the native software on both iPhone and Android can comfortably make slideshows (Videos in Photos on iPhone or Google Photos on Android), they aren’t as feature-rich as a dedicated slideshow maker.

The photo slideshow apps below have added features and were chosen based on their ease of use, functionality, and, honestly, how much fun they are to use.

What is the Best Slideshow App for Smartphones in 2024?

Inshot (best photo slideshow app overall).

• Lots of features
• Reasonably priced
• User-friendly
• Can export 4K
• Video slideshow features
• Need to upgrade to maximise potential

Inshot is an excellent all-round video editing and photo slideshow maker app. It’s one of the most feature-packed and easy-to-use apps of this kind for use on the iPhone and Android.

Like with many of these apps, there’s a free version and a premium version you need to pay a subscription for. The free version has plenty of features for most people (although it has ads and watermarks), and the premium version is reasonably priced.

With it, you can set up video slideshow projects, photo projects, and collages.

It has a very simple, easy-to-use interface with a preview window and an editing timeline. It is very easy to add or remove pictures and videos to or from the timeline just by dragging and dropping.

In the timeline, too, you can trim or reorder clips to suit your needs.

It has a good selection of different canvas settings (aspect ratios) to help you set up your photo slideshow and tailor-make it for different social media platforms. For example, vertical for Tik-Tok, square format for Instagram, and so on.

See the video below, which shows how you can make a slideshow using Inshot:

Inshot makes it simple to add effects (these are basically filters) and transitions to your slideshow, as they have a good library of these.

You can also add stickers and text to your photo slideshow, and these are added as layers so they’re easy to edit afterwards.

The app also contains more advanced features like adding video within video, but those are only available to Premium users.

As for its audio capabilities, you can extract the audio directly from your video, but it’s also easy to add other audio as necessary.

Inshot has a huge music library of its own, but you can also import tracks from your iTunes library or use your phone to record a voiceover if you want that to be your audio track.

Once the audio track is in place, you can manipulate it to fit your visuals, for example, to fade in and fade out.

It’s easy to export your finished content to a variety of resolutions and speeds, up to a maximum of 4K at 60fps. Once you’ve done that, you can share it to any social media platform straight from the app itself.

• Best timelapse photography apps

FotoPlay Slideshow Maker (Best Free SlideShow App for Android)

• Free photo slideshows
• Adjustable intensity filters
• Easy to learn and use
• Variety of  background music
• No 4K download

FotoPlay Slideshow Maker is an easy and free-to-use video and photo slideshow maker that has a decent amount of features.

Its interface is simple and easy to learn, plus there are a lot of templates to help you set things up with minimal effort.

If you don’t want templates, you can start with a blank canvas, and it’s easy to import your own photos and videos from your camera roll.

Once you have your content in place, you can customize the photos and videos by adding effects (you can also adjust the intensity of these), and add stickers and frames from the app’s large library of them.

You can also add animations to your photos like pan and zoom or dissolve, which work on the content itself or the transitions.

With the traditional preview window and timeline set up, it’s simple to see what you are creating as you’re creating it, and also easy to make micro-adjustments to the lengths of the clips and the duration of effects and animations.

You can adjust the speed of each clip individually, plus the transitions and music settings.

FotoPlay Slideshow Maker has an audio extractor that lets you scrape the music from any video. You can also import your own music or use the app’s music library to add soundtracks.

Once everything’s ready, you can save your photo slideshow at different aspect ratios for different social media platforms and then download it at a maximum of Full-HD 1080p resolution.

• Best apps to turn photos into anime

PicPlayPost (Best Free SlideShow App for iPhone Video Clips & Photos)

• Supports all media formats
• Auto slideshow setting
• Video collage feature
• Easy to use
• Lower resolution downloads than other apps

PicPlayPost is a free slideshow maker app for photo and video slideshows and video collages.

The slideshows you create can be up to thirty minutes in duration, and you can set them up according to a range of aspect ratios suitable for different social media. For example, 16:9 for YouTube, 4:3 for Facebook, etc.

If you’re pressed for time or just don’t want to do any work yourself, the app can produce an automated slideshow for you. Just select all the content you want to be added, drag everything in, and PicPlayPost will set up the slideshow for you.

Otherwise, you can do everything manually.

Like the other apps in this guide, it has a simple interface with a preview window and a timeline. So you can move clips around, reorder and trim them, add and delete them, and get everything looking exactly as you want it to.

You can also import GIFs from Giphy and add animated text and stickers to your slideshows, and the app also lets you create live wallpapers.

One interesting feature is that any text you add to a slideshow video can, if you like, be pinned to a moving object, so it can follow it around.

It’s easy to add audio tracks to your photo slideshow, as you can buy music straight from the app.

PicPlayPost also allows you to create slideshow video collages with up to four videos playing simultaneously or sequentially, and you can add your own music and transitions to this.

The slideshow video collage function is not just for videos either. It supports all media formats, including photos, videos, GIFs, and live photos.

Anything you create on PicPlayPost can be shared to social media directly from the app.

• How to use Photoroom app

MS PowerPoint (Best SlideShow App for Presentations)

• Powerful photo slideshow software
• AI assistant
• Templates and other design aids
• Supports all forms of media
• Collaborative tool
• Subscription-based
• Steep learning curve

MS PowerPoint is the corporate chief of photo slideshow makers, a piece of software so ubiquitous that it has entered the daily lexicon in the same way that Google has.

It’s software designed for collaboratively creating slideshow presentations and for sharing with other people across devices.

You can set up your presentation from scratch or take a template from its vast library of them. Once you have a template set up, you’re not stuck within its starting parameters.

You can get right to work customizing and formatting its colours and layout.

There are also no limits when it comes to the media you can insert into the presentation.

Of course, audio is supported, still images and video, but you can also add animations or even 3D elements either from your own archive or the Microsoft library.

And the way that you can interact with the software is also pretty flexible.

Gone are the days of just dragging and dropping elements in or typing text out.

Of course, you can still do this, but you can now also draw straight onto a slide or convert handwritten notes to text. You can even dictate your presentation’s text with the voice-to-text feature.

As well as the templates I mentioned earlier, you can get a different kind of help with the design of your presentation.

With the Designer and Ideas feature, you can, for example, type in a title for your slideshow, and the software will make image suggestions for you.

And that’s not as smart as it gets, either.

The new Copilot feature will help you write the presentation from prompts you give it, fine-tune your language if you ask it to, and intelligently help you create a narrative arc.

Powerpoint has almost become a robot colleague.

And, if you’re working on a presentation or photo slideshow with flesh and blood colleagues, you can communicate with them within the software, and you can all track one another’s edits.

12 Tips for Making an Entertaining Photo Slideshow

Creating an entertaining photo slideshow is about more than just displaying images in sequence.

Here are some tips to elevate your slideshow and captivate your audience:

• Storytelling is Key : Arrange your photos in a way that tells a story. Whether it’s chronological, thematic, or based on mood, a narrative flow keeps viewers engaged.
• Choose Quality Over Quantity : Instead of overwhelming viewers with countless images, select the best ones that truly convey the essence of your story or theme.
• Use Transitions Wisely : While it’s tempting to use flashy transitions, it’s often the subtle ones that work best. However, occasional dramatic transitions can emphasize key moments.
• Add Music : A well-chosen soundtrack can elevate the emotional impact of your slideshow. Ensure the background music matches the mood you’re trying to convey.
• Incorporate Motion : Pan and zoom effects, often referred to as the “Ken Burns effect”, can add dynamism to still photos.
• Use Captions Sparingly : While it’s okay to provide context, avoid cluttering your slideshow with too much text. Let the images speak for themselves.
• Vary Photo Durations : Not every photo should have the same screen time. Some images might require a longer view, while others can be fleeting.
• Include Short Video Clips : If you have relevant video clips, intersperse them with photos. This breaks the monotony and adds a dynamic element.
• Maintain a Consistent Style : Whether it’s in the choice of transitions, color schemes, or fonts, maintaining consistency gives your slideshow a professional touch.
• End with a Bang : Conclude with a memorable image or a summary slide that encapsulates the essence of your slideshow.
• Test on Different Devices : Before presenting, ensure your slideshow looks good on various devices, from laptops to projectors, to ensure the best viewing experience.
• Engage the Audience : If presenting live, interact with your audience. Share anecdotes, ask questions, or provide additional context verbally.

Remember, the goal of an entertaining slideshow is to evoke emotions, tell a story, and engage the viewer.

All the best photo slideshow apps in this guide have the ability to help you do just this.

FAQs on SlideShow Apps

How do I make a slideshow of pictures?

It’s quite simple to make a photo slideshow these days with all the software and apps out there.

First of all, you need your content, the photos, either some you’ve taken or copyright-free images you’ve found online, and then you just upload them to the software.

Many slideshow apps will automatically make a slideshow for you, but if you want manual control, that’s built-in.

Use the software to move your pictures around, adjust the length they show for, add music, and all that sort of thing.

You can have a complete slideshow ready to share in a matter of minutes.

How do I make a slideshow with music for free?

There are plenty of options for making slideshows with music for free, both with desktop software and slideshow apps for mobile phones.

You can normally add music of your choice from your library or use the app’s library instead.

Free options for desktop computers include PhotoStage, Filmora and iMovie, and free slideshow apps for mobile phones include PicPlayPost and Fotoplay Slideshow Maker.

Bear in mind, too, that most paid slideshow apps for mobile phones have free versions. If you’re just looking to make something simple, and don’t need access to a huge array of, for example, effects and stickers, they might be enough.

'What is Keynote on iPhone?': How to use the Keynote app on your iPhone to make slideshow presentations on the go

• Keynote is a presentation-creation app for your iPhone that can be used by students, professionals, and anyone who needs to make a slideshow.
• The Keynote app comes preloaded on your iPhone , and can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store if you delete it.
• Those familiar with Microsoft's PowerPoint program will quickly pick up on the value and the ease of using the iPhone's Keynote app.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories .

To Microsoft Word, you have Apple's Pages. To Microsoft's Excel, you have Apple's Numbers. And for PowerPoint, the Apple counterpart is Keynote, the presentation app that comes preloaded on your iPhone (and is free from the App Store if you deleted it).

Keynote is a presentation-design program perfect for everything from a report you're giving in school, to a proposal you want to share with your colleagues at the office. And once you spend some time with Keynote, you'll realize it's really not that hard to use.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

Iphone 11 (from $699.99 at best buy), how to use keynote on your iphone.

To create a new Keynote project, open the Keynote app , which is a blue box with a white image of a lectern inside it.

Tap the "Create Presentation" icon — it's the plus (+) symbol in the top-right — then select the theme you wish to use. You can always use your own images in the slides, so don't be thrown off by the stock images.

Once inside the new project, double-tap in the various boxes on the first slide to add text or media. You can simply begin typing after double tapping, or hit the plus symbol at the top to add images, graphs, video, audio, drawings, and more.

To add a new slide, hit the plus symbol in a blue box at the bottom left corner of the screen. Slides can always be dragged into new order by tapping, holding, and moving them up or down in the pane on the left. 

To add transitions between your slides (and alter various other settings) tap the three little dots in a circle in the top-right corner and select "Transitions and Builds." Then tap the slide to which you want to add a transition, tap "Add Transition," and then make your selection.

Using Keynote can be a collaborative process; just hit the "Add People" button at the top of the screen (it looks like a silhouette of a stick figure's head and shoulders in a circle), and invite others to work with you.

If you choose Custom, enter the slide dimensions, then tap Done.

Change the look of your entire presentation

Tap Themes at the bottom of the window.

Tap a theme or swipe to see more themes.

When you're finished, tap Done.

Edit slide layouts

To quickly make changes to multiple slides in your presentation at once, you can edit slide layouts. You can change the layout of a slide, add text, images, and objects. Changes to slide layouts affect the slides in your presentation that use the same slide layout.

In the sidebar, tap a slide that you want to edit.

Choose what you want to do — rearrange content, add text, images, and objects.

You can always undo a theme change if you preferred your previous theme.

From the menu bar, choose View > Edit Slide Layouts.

In the sidebar, select a slide layout that you want to edit.

When you’re done editing slide layouts, click Done in the lower-right corner.

Changes to slide layouts affect the slides in your presentation that use the same slide layout.

Keynote for iCloud

You can choose a theme when you create a new Keynote presentation online at iCloud.com.

Double-click a theme. The presentation opens in a new tab or window in your browser.

To add your own text to a slide, double-click the placeholder text.

To add your own image to a slide, drag an image from your computer to the placeholder image.

If you want to change the look of slides, slide size, or the theme after initially creating your presentation in Keynote for iCloud, open your presentation in Keynote on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Apple's Top Leaders Use This Simple Presentation Hack to Make Their Slides Instantly Memorable

Steve jobs began using this presentation formula long before it caught on..

Your audience is overwhelmed with data, numbers, and statistics in their daily lives. When they're watching your presentation, they certainly don't want to be bombarded by another barrage of numbers. But in most cases, you can't avoid meaningful statistics that provide the evidence for your pitch or proposal. What's a speaker to do?

The folks who design Apple's slides have a solution. It's brilliant. It works. And you can do it easily in your next presentation. Here's the simple hack: Stick to one number per slide.

For an example, look no further than Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference held earlier this month.

When Apple CEO  Tim Cook  began talking about a new release of Apple's mobile operating system (iOS 13), he said: "iOS has the highest customer satisfaction in the industry, with an incredible 97 percent." The slide had one number in large font--97 percent. In smaller font beneath the number, a sentence read: "Customer satisfaction for iOS 12."

That's it. One number and one sentence.

Few leaders know numbers as well Cook does. He's capable of poring over excel spreadsheets for hours and catching the one discrepancy that everyone else overlooked. Yet, when Cook delivers public presentations, he's careful to focus on one number on one slide. Only after he's done explaining the statistic does he move to another slide.

"Our adoption rate is industry leading as well," Cook continued. "Eighty-five percent of iOS customers are on the latest release." What number is the one and only statistic on the slide? You got it--85 percent.

Cook isn't the only Apple presenter who follows the formula. All of Apple's senior executives use the same presentation template.

When Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, took the stage to show off the new features of iOS 13 for the iPhone, he rattled off a series of numbers related to the phone's performance. Each number got its own slide.

According to Federighi, the new OS allows phones to unlock FaceID 30 percent faster, downloads are 50 percent smaller, and updates are 60 percent smaller--all making apps a faster experience. In this order the slides read:

30 percent Faster FaceID unlock 50 percent Smaller app downloads 60 percent Smaller app updates

Steve Jobs began using the formula of one number or theme per slide long before business professionals even started thinking about designing presentations more effectively.

When I wrote The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs , I cited a presentation he delivered for the second version of the iPad. In the first five minutes, his slides altogether contained a total of just 33 words. To put that into context, it's said that the average presentation slide contains 40 words--that's on each slide.

Even today, most speakers create slides that look more like documents with numbers, charts, and bullet points. This is exactly the wrong way to present information that's intended to be recalled and acted upon. According to neuroscientists, our brains are energy hogs. The brain evolved to be as efficient as possible and to save energy. If it has to work too hard to figure out a slide, it tunes out.

Stick to one theme--one number--per slide. Your audience will thank you.

The Slideshow feature within the Photos app is a great way to quickly show off your photos. However, you can't easily share a slideshow.

Once you've saved the video, you can send it to your contacts. Here's how to send a slideshow on an iPhone.

Visual Blast

I am not a tech maven, but I do capture lots of images in my travels. This app is an easy way to capture a bunch of pictures and video clips into a brief cinematic cohesive. There are many thematic options that are easy to audition. Very easy to swap out and in images in the editing process. Plus many music options to choose. Easily add titles and text, if you wish. The free version permits up to 20 images, including a five second video clip. Pay options will allow you to include more. Share the one minute creations to Facebook, friends or your website. A fun way to make yourself appear to be a video editing expert, in the most painfree way.

Pretty Good

I’ve used this app to make movie trailers, projects for school, and even memorabilias of my life. (Ex. parties, trips, etc.) It is really great for all those things, but what I don’t like about it is that you have to wait 30 seconds to preview your video if you don’t want to publish it yet. I know most people would say, “Why is that a problem? It’s only 30 seconds, so it’s not that long!” But, if you’re previewing it after every change you make to it, (like me,) you’re going to get annoyed fast. Another thing I don’t like about it is the music. They don’t have very good options to pick from, and if you want to use let’s say Havana as your song, or Star Wars music or something, you have to have it in iTunes which costs $$$. 🙁 Some people might already have the songs that they want to use in iTunes, good for them, but it might be hard to find the music you’re looking for in iTunes if you’re looking for this song from a video game that most people have never even heard of before (for example). I hope this review was helpful for you to decide wether or not you should get this app!

Great concept but very frustrating

I love the idea of making slideshows both for personal use, ie. special occasions and for Business use, displaying my art line. I took the time to make eight different slide shows each with 20 photos which is the maximum. I emailed some of them to potential clients and posted my personal ones to Facebook. Within 24 hours, all the videos were automatically deleted. I reached out to Animoto customer service and was told “it looks like you are using our legacy mobile app“. My question is, “why is this even available on the App Store NOW if it is old and useless?” I downloaded this version from the App Store on November 8, 2019 and my videos were deleted the next day on November 9. I spent quite a few hours making these slideshows just to have them disappear the next day. Frustrating! Before they were all deleted however, I really enjoyed the app. So much potential!
