PhotoStage for Windows
Turn photos and video clips into slideshows with music, narration and transitions using PhotoStage for Windows. The free edition is for non-commercial use only.
What is PhotoStage?
PhotoStage combines photos, video clips and audio into a slideshow. Arrange pictures by dragging them into order, or use Quick Create to start from a folder. Add captions, record narration and adjust slide timing to build a family slideshow or a narrated photo presentation. Its editing tools include brightness, color and saturation adjustments, plus crop, rotate and flip controls.
Transitions and pan-and-zoom effects help connect individual slides. The publisher lists video-file export, DVD output and formats for web and mobile sharing. NCH Software lists Windows 7 through 11 among the supported systems.
The linked installer is the publisher's free Windows edition, not a purchase of the commercial edition. NCH states that the free edition does not expire, is restricted to non-commercial use and includes most features of the normal version. Do not assume every advertised feature is included in the free edition: the product page does not provide a complete edition-by-edition feature list. Screenshots illustrate the application's workflow; they are not evidence of the version in the current installer.
