How to make a memorial slideshow
- 1
Gather the photos
Collect photos from family phones, albums and old prints, and scan or photograph the prints. You can add up to 150 photos and short video clips, including iPhone HEIC photos.
- 2
Put them in order
Most families go from childhood to the most recent years, or group the photos by chapters of life: family, work, travel, grandchildren. Drag the photos into the order you want.
- 3
Choose the music
Pick up to two tracks from the free music library or upload a song of your own. If the photos run longer than the music, the music repeats so every photo keeps its timing.

Add the title slide and preview
Open with their name, dates and portrait on a memorial design, watch the full preview, and download the MP4 when it looks right.
