Why Convert JPG to WMV?
Converting JPG images to WMV creates a video slideshow from your photos. WMV (Windows Media Video) is Microsoft's native video format, making it ideal for playing slideshows in Windows Media Player without additional software, embedding photo presentations in PowerPoint on Windows, sharing photo compilations via Windows-based systems, and creating video content from still images for Windows media servers.

How do I create a slideshow from multiple photos?
Upload all your JPG files, select "Merge images" under Merge Strategy, and set Image Duration to 3-5 seconds per frame. The tool combines all images into a single WMV video in the order you upload them. Adjust Background Color for images that don't fill the frame.
What video codec is used?
The default is WMV2 (Windows Media Video 2) with WMA v2 audio — the native codecs for WMV files. These ensure maximum compatibility with Windows Media Player. You can change to H.264 or other codecs under Video Codec if needed.
Can I control how long each image shows?
Yes. Under Image Duration, choose from 1/60 second (single frame at 60fps) up to 10 seconds per frame. For a standard photo slideshow, 3-5 seconds per image works well. For stop-motion animation, use 1/24s or 1/30s.
What happens if my images are different sizes?
The tool scales images to fit the output resolution. Areas not covered by the image are filled with the Background Color you select (Black by default). Use "Contained" scaling to show the full image, or the resolution settings to match your images' aspect ratio.
Should I use WMV or MP4 for my slideshow?
WMV is best for Windows-only environments (Windows Media Player, PowerPoint). For universal playback on phones, tablets, and web, use JPG to MP4 instead. MP4 with H.264 plays on every device.
