Everyone correctly talks about TikTok being a fast-growing app, and you’d expect that introducing new features would be a common theme moving forward.
TikTok introduced a slideshow feature that can be created in just minutes to make your content more attractive. Some users go a step further to make their slideshow go at a particular speed to make it more creative.
Are you having trouble creating a slideshow or even regulating the speed to make it go slower?
We will cover how you can solve this problem in this article and make you have a good slideshow experience.
What Is a TikTok Photo Slideshow?
A TikTok slideshow is a set (2 or more) of still photos that appear in sequential order as a single short video. Using filters and in-built transitions in the app, you can edit those images before uploading them on TikTok.

How to Make a TikTok Photo Slideshow Slower
This is tricky because you cannot make a TikTok photo slideshow slower directly from the TikTok app. You would have to use a third-party app to slow down a photo slideshow.
The step-by-step process below will show you how to use a third-party app to slow down your TikTok slideshow:
- Install the “Slideshow – Slideshow Maker” app.
- Launch the app on your device.
- Tap on “Create Video” option.
- Tap on “Allow.”
- Select multiple photos from your photo library.
- Tap the “Next” button at the top right corner of the screen.
- Edit the photos with music and transitions (optional).
- Tap the “Duration” clock icon in the tools bar.
- Move the slider to the right to slow down the slide show.
- Once you achieve the desired speed, click on the “Save” button in the top right corner.
- Wait for the “Exporting” process to complete.
- Click on the “Done” button.
- Now, open the Tiktok app.
- Press the “Post” button with the “+” sign below the screen.
- Tap the “Upload” option at the right of the screen; the next screen is already on the videos tab by default.
- Select the video you made on Slideshow – Slideshow Maker.
- Tap the “Next” button in the bottom right corner.
- Add music, filter, and other effects if you want.
- Tap “Next” at the bottom right.
- Add a “Description” if you want or leave it blank.
- Click the “Post” button to upload on TikTok.
The slideshow would be uploaded on your TikTok account and would be slower than usual.
Other reliable third-party apps are Photo View Maker and Video Maker With Photo.
