Option 2: Make a music slideshow with Filmora

If you want to create a piece that stands out from the crowd and shines, you should use a professional slideshow maker. Among all the slideshow makers available on the market, one that I’d recommend is Filmora.

Filmora is a smart slideshow maker that enables you to create a music slideshow in just a couple of minutes. With a simple and easy-to-navigate design, it allows you to easily access and play around with its stock of features and effects – text, filters, music, animation, transition etc.

Here’s how to make a slideshow with music via Filmora:

1) Download and install Filmora from Wondershare’s official website.

2) Run Filmora and choose FULL FEATURE MODE.

3) Drag & drop your photos to the timeline section.

4) Click MUSIC. Then browse through the music library and choose a soundtrack that matches the mood for your slideshow and drag it to the timeline.

According to Wondershare’s policy, you’re free to use the music tracks in Filmora’s built-in music library for personal but not commercial use. If you want to upload your own music, please be careful and avoid any form of copyright infringement.

To juice up your slideshow, you can add other effects such as text, transitions and filters to it. The method of adding these effects are similar to that of adding music.

5) Once you’ve finished editing your slideshow, click EXPORT to save your work.

6) In the left pane, choose the output video format, the viewing device and/or the upload platform. Finally, click Export to save the slideshow.
