Create a Digital Photo Album From Files Already on Your Computer

Before you create a photo album, collect the picture files that you want to add to the album. To streamline your workflow, add the photos to a single folder on your computer.

To create a photo album:

Open PowerPoint and choose a template or create a blank presentation.

Select the Insert tab.

Select the Photo Album drop-down arrow and choose New Photo Album . The Photo Album dialog box opens.

Select File/Disk to open the Insert New Pictures dialog box.

Go to the folder that contains the pictures, select the images you want to add to the photo album, then select Insert . The chosen photos appear in the Pictures in album list.

If you're choosing several pictures from the same folder, select all the picture files at the same time.

Select Create . PowerPoint creates a new presentation for the digital photo album that contains the selected photos.

Change the Order of the Photos on the PowerPoint Slides

The photos appear in the digital photo album in the alphabetical order of their filenames. If you want to display pictures in a different order, rearrange them.

To rearrange photos in a photo album:

Select Insert > Photo Album > Edit Photo Album to open the Edit Photo Album dialog box.

In the Pictures in album list, select the file name of the photo you want to move.

Select either the Up or Down arrow to move the photo to the correct location. Select the arrow more than once to move the picture more than one place.

Options include:

• Fit to slide.
• One picture, two pictures, or four pictures per slide.

A layout preview displays on the right side of the Album Layout section of the dialog box.

You can also choose other options, such as:

To edit the photo captions on a slide, select the text box containing the caption and edit the text.

How to create a photo album slide show using PowerPoint

• By Belinda Anderson
• 25 November 2014
• Updated: 25 March 2021
• No Comments

Have you ever attended an event where a slideshow of photos was showing on a screen for everyone to view? Ever wondered how to create one? It’s very easy using the Photo Album function available in Microsoft PowerPoint.

I’ve used this feature to quickly create a slideshow of photos for my daughters’ birthdays and other special occasions and have always had great feedback. You can easily hook your computer up to many of the latest TV systems to allow your photo album to be displayed on your LCD or digital TV or even connect your computer to a data projector if you have one available.

The photo album feature is also useful in a business context and can be used at demonstrations, trade stands, expos or conferences. Why not use a photo album to chronicle corporate events or the timeline of events for your project!

To create a photo album, follow these steps:

• Open Microsoft PowerPoint (I’m using PowerPoint 2016)
• You will need a new blank presentation displayed
• Select Insert from the Ribbon and click the Photo Album button

• The Photo Album dialog box will appear:

• You will now need to import the pictures you wish to include in the photo album
• Click the File/Disk button to browse your computer’s hard drive
• Locate the pictures you wish to import

• If the pictures are located in multiple locations, that is fine, just repeat this process for each location till all the pictures you want are imported
• Now you must select the pictures to insert. Here is a time-saving tip: do not import the photos one at a time. Import multiple pictures at once by selecting them with the left mouse button while you hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard
• You will see multiple file names appear in the File name box

• Once you have selected the pictures from this location, click Insert
• You will now see these pictures listed in the Photo Album dialog box

• To import more pictures, click the File/Disk button again and repeat this process

Editing the photos

One of the benefits of using the Photo Album tool is the built-in editing capabilities. Although these are very basic, they can save you time as you don’t need to adjust your photos in another program prior to importing them into PowerPoint. You can easily flip a photo (which is great if a photo you have imported is displayed the wrong way up), and also adjust the brightness and contrast of a photo. You can rearrange the order the photos are being displayed, remove a photo if you have imported it by accident and even display all photos in black and white. If you want to section your photos into different categories, for instance, you may be displaying photos of your child from birth till current age, you can include a text box slide and insert text which will show up the age of your child.

• Firstly I want to rearrange the order of my pictures
• Select the first photo you wish to move by placing a tick in the checkbox, then use the up and down arrow buttons to move it into a new position in the list

• I now want to include a text box at the start of my album and also prior to the photo of the laptop
• Select the first picture and click New Text Box
• A text box will now be added to the Pictures in album list. This text box will allow you to type text into a slide to be displayed in the photo album
• You will need to use the up arrow to move this text box to the beginning of the album order

• Repeat this process and insert a new text box before another picture in your album

• Now we are going to click Create to see what our photo album looks like at this stage

Album Layout

The album layout options allow you to specify three different options for your album.

First, the Picture layout  drop-down menu allows you to specify how many pictures you wish to display on each slide. By default the album will have the pictures set to “Fit to slide”, this can sometimes mean your photos are stretched and become distorted so you have options to display 1 picture per slide (so the picture is not stretched, just positioned in the middle of the slide), you can even have 2, 3 or up to 4 pictures included on the one slide. If you decide you want to include a title for each picture then you can select this option from the Picture layout menu.

The Frame shape drop-down menu allows you to put nice edging around your photos. You can round the corners, put a simple frame around each picture or even a darker frame if you prefer.

The Theme drop-down menu allows you to browse the many themes available and choose a design theme to apply to your slides. The theme you select will be visible on the opening slide, any slides which contain a text box and any slides where the picture is not set to fit to the entire slide.

Remember that you can come back and change these settings at any time so you can experiment with different options before you decide on the one you prefer. Now that we have created the photo album and can see our pictures on the slides, let’s experiment with the layout.

• Return to the Insert menu and click the down arrow located underneath the Photo Album button

• Select Edit Photo Album
• The Edit Photo Album dialog box will appear, which is exactly the same as the previous dialog box we were using
• From the Album Layout area select the Picture layout drop down menu and choose 2 pictures
• Change the Frame shape to Rounded Rectangle
• Click Update
• The photo album will now be updated so that the photos are displayed with 2 on each slide and you will see that the text boxes we inserted have been included on the 2 per slide layout

• Return back to the Insert > Photo Album > Edit Photo Album button
• You can experiment further with these settings if you like, otherwise change the Picture layout back to Fit to slide
• Now let’s apply a theme to our photo album
• Click the Browse button adjacent to the Themes field
• Depending on which views you use for your folders within Microsoft Windows, you may see the list of themes as small icons as shown below:

• This view makes it quite difficult to identify which theme you may like the look of
• To preview the theme simply click the More options arrow

• Choose Large icons or Extra Large Icons and you will now see a preview of the colours and design used by each theme
• Select a theme you like and click Select
• Click Update to preview your changes in the photo album

Finishing touches

Once you are happy with the pictures you have included, the theme used, the layout of your pictures, you can then make the finishing touches such as including titles and setting up your album to automatically run through.

It’s important to be aware that if you make changes to your photo album, such as adding animations, resizing individual pictures or changing their position on the slide, and you then go back and edit the photo album settings and click Update , you will lose any changes made outside the Photo Album dialog box.

For the final touches let’s now fill in some titles:

• Go to slide 1 which shows the title for your photo album and also author details
• Click inside the text boxes and edit the text to be what you would like displayed
• Repeat this for any text boxes you have included within the photo album
• Now to set up the photo album so that it moves through the pictures automatically at set intervals
• Select the Transitions tab and locate the Advance Slide controls

• Untick the option for On Mouse Click as we want the photo album to move through each photo automatically without our intervention
• Tick the box for After and change the setting using the up and down arrows to 6 seconds. Of course, you can use whatever length of time you wish, enter a value and test it before you decide on what you will end up using
• To ensure this setting applies to all slides within the photo album click the Apply To All button

• Now press F5 on the keyboard to run the photo album in slideshow mode
• Do not press any key on the keyboard or click the mouse button and see if the slides move to the next as specified
• As the final step in this process, we now want to set our presentation so that when it reaches the last slide, it will restart back at the beginning, we want it to “loop”
• Go to the Slide Show tab on the Ribbon and click Set Up Slide Show
• In the Show options area tick the box for Loop continuously until ‘Esc’ then click OK
• If you are happy with the time frame each picture is displayed for then press Ctrl + S on the keyboard to save your file to your preferred location and with a meaningful file name

Your photo album is now ready to be used at your next function. You can display this using a data projector or if your TV is compatible, you can connect your computer directly to your TV and run the photo album presentation through your TV screen. Consult your TV’s user manual for instructions.

10 Free PowerPoint Templates to Present Your Photos With Style

The most common use of PowerPoint with photos is their use as photo albums. Create your own...or use the hundreds of free templates in the Office template gallery. We pick ten attractive ones.

You might think Photoshop is the best tool for putting together a photo collage, but actually PowerPoint offers plenty of free templates for you to use instead. Here's how to use a template in PowerPoint along with all the best PowerPoint photo collage templates you have to choose from.

Why Use PowerPoint Photo Collage Templates?

Share your photos: For our most popular preoccupation with photos—sharing.

Show off photos with style: A professional photo collage template can add gravity and enhance your photos.

Save time: Microsoft PowerPoint templates for photos are molds for standard layouts. Why reinvent the wheel? Save time with pre-made photography templates so you can focus on other things instead.

Showcase creativity: Turn a long-term photography project into a creative PowerPoint photo album presented as a slideshow.

How to Search for Free PowerPoint Photo Collage Templates

The most common use of Microsoft PowerPoint with photos is to use it as a photo album. PowerPoint ships with some default photo templates, but you can also use free templates in the Office Online Template & Themes gallery.

Follow these steps in Office 365. It should be similar for other versions of Microsoft Office as well.

• You can tweak your slides further by applying Themes from the Design tab with just a click. A theme is a predefined combination of colors, fonts, and effects. Different themes are suitable for different slide layouts.

Tip: You can pin your favorite templates to the New screen.

The 10 Best PowerPoint Photo Templates

Good presenters know not only what to present but also how to present. These 10 professional photo collage templates do some of the handholding for you.

1. Stay Minimal With the Classic Photo Album

The Classic Photo Album PowerPoint template is a minimal theme suitable for black and white street photography. Use this to create a personal portfolio. Limited to two colors, it doesn't distract from the photos you use the template for.

If you want to go with color, customize the default theme background, colors, number of images, alignment of thumbnails, and more by using the Ribbon.

2. Make a Baby Photo Collage

This PowerPoint photo slideshow template presents your cute baby pictures in a vertical style. You can use a different number of photos in the slides and write down memories associated with the photos.

3. A PowerPoint Collage for Wedding Photos

The elegant Wedding Photo Album is a compilation of 17 slides in different layouts. You will find other wedding album templates in the gallery, but this is an understated photo collage. You can add up to five wedding photos to create a collage. For more choices, search with a "wedding photo album" keyword.

4. Birthday Photo Album Template for Any Age

A common use of collages is to put together a birthday photo album. This PowerPoint template for birthday photos is easy to adapt to your needs. The 15 deck template also comes with editing instructions if you are a beginner on PowerPoint and need some help.

5. A Stylish Biography Template for Class

Studying the biographies of achievers is required reading in many grade levels. This is not for your photos but for profiling the life of famous men and women in the class. The Biography Presentation template is a well-designed template with space for photos and biographical information. Use each slide to focus on a single aspect of the achiever's life.

6. Escape With a Road Trip Photo Album Template

Just looking at the collage of placeholders for your road trip photos might make you want to take one. This beautiful PowerPoint template has eight slides, so you might need more of them if you bring back lots of memories.

7. Have Fun With a Party Photo Album Template

A fun party can throw up a lot of little moments. Capture them all in a slideshow with this 21-slide PowerPoint template. This photo collage template is colorful to match any fun theme for your party.

8. Remember Someone With a Memorial Album

Use the Floral memorial album template to pay tribute with a PowerPoint slideshow. The eight slides in the template are designed for different photos and one of the slides can even hold eight photos. This presentation design is somber but stylish at the same time.

9. Send a Reunion Reminder With a Family Photo Album

Present a few loving family photos to inspire everyone to start preparing for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The theme of these PowerPoint slides is simple, and you can easily add a few more slides to the default five this deck comes with.

10. Create a Stunning Photo Book

You might feel overwhelmed if someone asked you to put together a quick photo book. But use this subtle yet stylish PowerPoint photo book template to get the job done in no time. The name and the placeholder images might suggest a fashion theme, but you can easily repurpose it for any photos.

Let's Not Forget Office Online

You might not use PowerPoint Online for crafting that killer presentation, but it's still a free alternative to Microsoft Office with plenty of templates.

While most of the online photo templates are crossovers from the Office suite gallery, there are still some exceptions. For example, the Animated picture collection template.

You can always download a template from the online gallery to your desktop. And you can save your presentation to a web location just as easily with OneDrive, then access it from there with Office 365.

Other Sources of Free PowerPoint Templates

There also lots of non-Microsoft sources of free Microsoft PowerPoint templates and backgrounds. Search with a keyword like "photos" or "photo album" to find them. Here are a few suggestions:

• SlideHunter
• PPTtemplate.net
• PresenterMedia
• Powered Template
• Graphic River (paid)

Templates can help you take shortcuts through the time-consuming task of designing a presentation. That way you can save more time for perfecting the look of your presentation with a few profession design tips.

Slide shows are a great way to share photos and videos with guests at a wedding, birthday, or other special event.

Create a digital photo album

Some slide shows are created for personal reasons, such as sharing important memories with family or friends.

Highlight products or services

Businesses can use slide shows to showcase their products, promote special offers and sales, or pitch their services to potential clients.

Enhance teaching, training, and public speaking

Slide shows can also provide helpful visuals in educational settings, classroom presentations, and public speaking forums.

What you need to make a slide show

When it comes to creating a slide show, there are a few things you'll need to get started. First and foremost, you'll need a device equipped with presentation software or access to an online slide show app. Secondly, you’ll need a way to display your slide show, which usually means connecting your device to a projector or big screen TV. Beyond that, you’ll need some visual aids and other media to bring your slide show to life.

Explore each of these slide show requirements in more detail:

Devices and equipment —To create a slide show, you’ll use a computer or other device—such as a tablet or mobile phone—with PowerPoint or a similar program installed. You will also need a way to project the slides onto a screen or wall. This can be done with a projector, but if you don't have one available, you can use your TV or computer monitor. Simply connect your device to the TV or monitor using an HDMI cable and select the correct input. Your slides will now be projected onto the screen.

Media —Of course, creating a slide show requires media that adds visual and even audio elements to your presentation. This can be anything from photos and videos to music and text. You can use search engines to find copyright-free media to use in your slide show.

Another option is to purchase royalty-free stock footage, images, and audio files from online media libraries. This could be a bit more expensive, but it guarantees that you have the legal right to use the media in your presentation.

Finally, you can also use your own videos, images, and even music. While this can be a time-consuming process, it does allow you to create custom content specifically for your slide show.

Slide show creator —To bring your slide show together, you’ll need a slide show creator. The slide show software you choose will depend on your presentation requirements and preferences. There are many slide show makers on the market, with Microsoft PowerPoint being one of the most popular and widely used programs globally.

How to choose a slide show maker

When choosing slide show software, it's important to consider the features and specifications that are most important to you. Some of the questions you might ask when choosing a slide show maker include:

• How easy is the software to use?
• Is the software Mac or PC compatible?
• Can I access and edit my slide show on the cloud?
• What kind of slide shows can be created with the software?
• How many photos and/or videos can be included in a slide show?
• Can text and other elements be added to slide shows?
• Are transitions and effects available for slide shows?
• Is music accompaniment an option?
• What are the options for saving and sharing your slide show?

Building a slide show doesn't have to be difficult. With the right software, you can create an engaging presentation in no time.

Six steps for creating a slide show

1. Plan your slide show

Before getting too deep into your slide show project, it’s a good idea to select and save the photos and videos you want to use. This helps you create a slide show more efficiently and purposefully, ensuring a better outcome.

4. Import media

Start adding photos, videos, and other desired media to your slides. You can upload these from your device or online media libraries. If you planned your slide show in advance, you should have all your media saved in one place.

2. Launch your slide show app

Once you’ve decided on a slide show maker, you’ll want to launch the app from whatever device you’ll be using to create your presentation.

5. Add text, music, and transitions

After you’ve arranged the visuals in your slide show, you can provide additional information and communicate sentiment using custom text, music, and timed slide transitions.

3. Choose your theme

Most slide show software offers a variety of pre-set themes, colors, and designs. You can choose one that best suits your slide show or create a custom theme using the program’s various tools and features.

6. Record, save, and share your slide show

Now you’re ready to record your slide show, which can include a voiceover or Cameo . Once your slide show is complete, you can save it as a video to your device or to the cloud, such as OneDrive . You can access your saved slide show at any time to display at events, use in meetings, share online, or send directly to other people.

How to make a slide show with photos

Adding photos to your slide show is a great way to enliven your presentation and make it more visually interesting. Here are a few different ways you can add photos to your slide show in PowerPoint.

Add photos from your device

Whether you’re using a computer, tablet, phone, or other device, you can use photos that are saved to your device to create your slide show. In PowerPoint, simply select “Insert” then “Pictures” from the program menu, then choose “This Device.” This will open your photo library and allow you to find the photos you want to use. Once you’ve selected the photos that you want to import, just click on the "Insert" button and they will be added to your slide show. If you’re using a pre-made theme, you can also right-click the image in the slide show and select “Change Picture.” Again, you will choose “This Device” to access your photo library. After inserting your photo, you can reposition it on your slide or resize it however you like.

Use stock photos

Another way to add photos in PowerPoint is to follow the same process you would when adding photos from your device, but when prompted to choose your photo source, select “From Stock Images” instead of “This Device.” This will display a library of photos that you can use in your slide show without worrying about copyright infringement. There are thousands of stock images available in most slide show maker programs. Once the library is open, you can explore existing photo categories or use keywords to search for photos that fit your needs.

Explore online photo sources

Online photos are images you can insert into a PowerPoint slide show directly from the internet, as opposed to using those you have saved on your device. This is a convenient option if you don't have photos already prepared for your slide show, or if you can’t find the right kind of photo in the stock image library. However, there are some potential risks associated with using online photos, namely that you must be careful to use royalty-free images so not to infringe on any copyrights. In PowerPoint, there is a filtering option to ensure your search results only show royalty-free photos. Inserting photos from online sources follows the same process as the previous two methods, but this time, you’ll select “From Online Sources.”

How to add videos, music, and text

How to add videos to PowerPoint slide shows

Adding videos to your slide show involves accessing videos from your device, a stock video library, or online video sources—just as you would when adding photos. In this case, however, you’ll navigate to the menu in PowerPoint and select “Insert,” followed by “Media,” then “Video.” Once your video appears on your slide, you can resize or reposition it to fit your presentation needs. You can also set your video to play automatically in the slide show by selecting “Playback” on the menu and choosing “Start Automatically.”

How to add music to PowerPoint slide shows

Much like adding videos, you can add music to individual slides in PowerPoint by navigating to “Insert” on the menu, then “Media,” and finally “Audio.” You can then import music from your device, or you can record your own audio directly in PowerPoint. However, if you want your audio to play across multiple slides in your presentation—for example, as background music for a slide show—you’ll have to take a couple of extra steps. Once you’ve imported your audio file, select “Playback” from the menu and choose the “Play in Background” option. Your music will now play across all slides. You can set one song to loop for the duration of the slide show, or you can add more songs to play continuously throughout the slide show.

How to add text to PowerPoint slide shows

Premade themes in PowerPoint make adding text slide shows easy. On slides that already have templated content, you can simply click on the text and begin editing. In addition to changing what the text says, you can resize, recolor, reposition, and add special effects to the text. Of course, you can also change the font—or style—of the text. Most of this can be done from the “Home” tab on the menu while certain effects, such as shadows, can be found on the “Shape Format” tab. If you’re designing your presentation slides from scratch, or want to create additional text, find “Insert” on the menu, then choose “Text Box” or “Word Art,” depending on your desired text effect.

Discover custom slide show settings

Add even more effects to your PowerPoint slide show with custom settings like timing, transitions, and looping.

Set slide show timing

Adding timing to your slide show is a great way to control the pacing and flow of your presentation. To add timing in PowerPoint, go to the "Transitions" tab on the menu and find the "Advance Slide" area. Make sure the box next to “After:” is checked, then input the amount of time you’d like each slide to appear on-screen. The slides will automatically advance, creating a movie-like effect that’s great for events and special occasions.

Create slide show transitions

Now that you’ve added automatic timing to your slide show, you can make it more visually appealing by creating slide transitions. Transitions are special effects that allow you to animate the way your slides change from one to the next, and there are a variety of different transitions in PowerPoint that you can choose from. You can add these transitions to your slide show from the "Transitions” tab. From there, you’ll select the transition you want to add. To preview the transition, simply click on it. You can click “Apply To All” to automatically add the same transition to every slide in your slide show, or you can manually add different transitions to different slides.

Loop your slide show

If you want your slide show to play continuously until you choose to turn it off, you can set your PowerPoint presentation to loop. This will ensure your slide show automatically starts over from the beginning once it reaches the end. To get started, navigate to the “Slide Show” tab on the menu and select “Set Up Slide Show.” When the settings window opens, check the box next to “Loop continuously until ‘ESC’” and then click “OK.” When you’re ready to turn your slide show off, simply press the Esc key on your keyboard.
