high-resolution presentations compatible with screens all the way
up to 4K, and with a myriad of options for sharing.
Creating a slideshow is as simple as uploading JPEGs (2,200 pix-
els on the vertical edge are recommended for 4K displays); choos-
ing one or more songs from the seven music categories provided
(or uploading your own); customizing slide order, dissolves, and
image display duration during the WrapUp step; and choosing
one of SmartSlide’s elegant opening title page themes for your
slideshow. That’s it. Once that’s done, just hit Publish, and in what
seems like the blink of an eye, you have a killer slideshow.
SmartSlides also automatically matches the images in your slide-
show to the length of the song you’ve chosen and lets you know
how long each image will be displayed. If you want increased
display time for individual images, it’s as simple as adding another
song. SmartSlides then automatically adjusts everything to match
the new music. Slideshows be can shared using the URL or embed
code provided if you’d like to post it to your website. Viewers see
an opening title screen that includes a full-screen image, play/
replay controls, social media badges for sharing, credits for the
music, and an area to display your business branding.
Pixellu has three different tiers for pricing: Starter, Pro, and
Studio. Starter allows you to store 10 slideshows and costs
$12/month (or $8/month for an annual plan). Pro allows you to
store 200 slideshows and costs $24/month (or $16/month for an
annual plan). Studio allows you to store 1,000 slideshows and
costs $48/month (or $32/month for an annual plan). n
