Photo Compiler2019.1

Whether you want to send your portfolio to a client or share photographs to a friend, a slideshow is a good way to do so. Photo Compiler can help you build a slideshow out of a set of photos, then save it as a batch or executable files that can be shared with others.

Generate slideshows out of sets of photos

There are three main areas in the main window of Photo Compiler, each describing a step you need to take in order to build your project. First, you must select the images you want the slideshow to include. Please note that PNG and JPG are the only supported formats.The position of a photo in the sequence can be changed using the dedicated arrows. Moreover, you can tamper with the placement of the photo: images can be stretched to fit the entire screen, and the aspect ratio can be maintained.Plus, you can add a background image to the slideshow to fill up the screen in case your photos are small. Alternatively, you can use a color for the background.

Change the behavior of your slideshow while previewing the changes

There are a few additional settings that are related less to the photos and more to the slideshow as a whole and its behavior. The transition between two consecutive photos is defined by the style you choose, and there are lots of options available, all similar to transition effects found in presentation makers.Additionally, you can adjust the time interval between two pictures, modify the delay of the transition, and the effect's step on the selected image.As you make changes to your project, the preview area enables you to take a look at the slideshow as a whole and see how it will look like.

Build executables that play your slideshow on any PC

Once you are satisfied with the project, you can create a BAT file or an EXE file. Photo Compiler builds a player that will load the slideshow on any computer, with no dependencies. You can customize it by adding it a title, changing the theme and the icon and configuring the size of the window and its appearance (i.e. border, style, etc.). For security reasons, the slideshow can be protected using a password, but this is optional.

Share a photo collection without sending graphics over

Photo Compiler comes in handy to anyone who wants to share their photo collection without having to send the multimedia files. However, it would be great to have more features related to copyright and security, as photos can be looked at as intellectual property. As a suggestion, we could mention image and text watermarking.
