To make a slideshow in TikTok, you need to use the mobile app, and pressing the “+” button will help you publish a slideshow, story, or post on your feed. A TikTok slideshow can turn static photos and images into engaging content.

TikTok allows creators and users to add songs, custom audios, stickers, transitions, effects, and many more creative elements to their content, images, and videos.

Even if you are a newbie to TikTok, this guide will guide you through a step-by-step process for making a slideshow on TikTok.

What is a Slideshow on TikTok?

The idea of a TikTok slideshow is similar to a PowerPoint slideshow, as it is a video-style content created from multiple images or media that plays sequentially with added music, text, effects, and transitions.

Filming a video takes time, so users use TikTok to turn their existing photos into dynamic videos. Slideshows on TikTok are popular for:

  • Photo dumps
  • Product showcases
  • Storytelling posts
  • Tutorials
  • Fashion and outfit reveal
  • Travel recaps

Step-by-Step Guide on Making a TikTok Slideshow

The process of making a TikTok slideshow on iPhone and Android smartphone apps is almost the same. For this tutorial, we are using visuals from an Android TikTok app.

Before getting started, make sure you have the photos that you want to use for the slideshow and the latest TikTok app installed on your smartphone. The slideshow feature is currently unavailable at the official desktop version of the app.

Step 1: Create a Post and Select Images

Open the TikTok app on your smartphone and click the “+” button at the bottom of the screen. Click the Image icon at the bottom right, as you need to pick images from the gallery.

You can use other options to take real-time photos, too.

Step 2: Select Images and Set Audio

TikTok will open your phone’s gallery, where you can select multiple photos that you want to add to the slideshow. Select photos and click Next.

Now, you will see the sound option at the top of the screen, click it, and available sounds will appear that you can choose for the slideshow.

Step 3: Customize Slideshow and Post

After setting a sound, you can add further elements like effects, stickers, text, and custom voices. Once finished, click Next.

The final screen will ask you to add a caption, hashtags, and a location. You can also add links and make other changes to the video settings.

Once everything is finished, post the slideshow or download it, and you can also save it to Draft.

How to Edit an Existing Slideshow on TikTok?

Once you have posted a slideshow, you cannot edit the uploaded version. If you need to make any changes, the ideal way to deal with this situation is to download the slideshow, make edits, and delete the previously uploaded slideshow.

Now, upload the revised video. It is always advised to preview the final content before posting. During the review process, you can find issues before making the video available to the public.

How to Make Your TikTok Slideshow Go Viral?

Almost every TikTok creator wants their content to go viral, but getting views on TikTok is not easy. If you don’t have a huge following on the platform, the chances of your video going viral are pretty slim.

But certain steps can help your video get noticed by the audience. To increase engagement, you can:

  • Use trending sounds and songs in your slideshow
  • Add visual hooks in your first slide to engage the viewer
  • Keep slides fast so viewers can consume more content in less time
  • Use high-quality, interesting, and original photos
  • Strong captions can also help with SEO
