The banner above and our animated icon were both made with the Genolve Slideshow Maker. ### Simple To Use Whenever you create a slideshow you get a video recording of the slideshow and a coverphoto image representing that slideshow is also generated, **simply place that coverphoto where you want the slideshow to go**. If the browser supports SVG (all modern browsers do) the image will be swapped for the slideshow using the same **responsive** settings the image had. That's it, no shortcodes or other parameters to mess with. ### Wide Compatibility Because the slideshow goes where you place the coverphoto, it can be placed anywhere you place an image; as the featured image, Gutenberg image blocks, or any other plugin that uses images, including WooCommerce. ### Demos These are demos and video captures of slideshows: * [Slideshows](https://www.genolve.com/design/websites/slideshow-maker) * [Animate on Scroll live](https://www.genolve.com/svg/en/genolve-wordpress-slideshow-maker-plugin.php) * [Animate on Scroll video](https://www.genolve.com/design/websites/animate-on-scroll) * [Featured Image](https://www.genolve.com/design/websites/featuredimage) * [Gutenberg Ornate Separator](https://wildwebwidget.com/genolve-ornate-separator-block-demo) * [Tutorials]( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw1SeQ8zjXIbjWxvllwa12fmCY6u4iqdh) ### Use Cases by Site Type **Photography and Art Sites** When you highlight your new photos, videos or art in a blog post, use multiple slideshows down the page to support the story progression. Make interactive stories with the Premium option. If your photos are copyrighted, don't expose them to the web, use the generated slideshow video instead. **Online Store** Highlight a new product line or special sales promotion. Construct a slideshow with flair and punch worthy of a Fortune 500 advertisement. Highlight a [drink](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3mE3KziMno&t=2s) or a [car sale](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k1lGdAJR5c&t=3s) (Note these tutorials were made before animation timing bars made animations even easier). **Music Site** Make a [full-blown music video](https://www.genolve.com/svg/en/how-to-make-a-music-video.php) to put a spotlight on your music. Music driven animations add that extra professional touch. Use unconventional animations such as using the windows of a skyscraper as a frequency meter. **Blog** Make a slideshow tell a story or explain a point you are trying to communicate. Go for humor by making your own [meme](https://www.genolve.com/design/socialmedia/memes) or make artistic abstract animations to break up the flow of thought. Instead of a static pull quotes, make elegant animated pull quotes. = Bonus features = * **Image Filters** - hundreds of filters to enhance your images, including background stripping (works best on solid color backgrounds). * **Templates** - speed up the design process with hundreds of pre-designed templates. * **Fast Safe SVG** - all SVG comes from genolve.com where it is checked for safety and fast load time. * **Animations** - add slide-in, fade-in, zoom-in and many more effects including path animations. * **Gutenberg Blocks** - Ornate Separator divides paragraphs or videos in style.
