I needed a fast and user friendly slide show and this was so easy to use! Sharing with friends I used the free online last year and so I purchased the bigger version this year and I'm happy that I did.
I needed a quick program to upload my students' photos from the year/add music/make a end of the year slideshow. I looked at several websites and this was the easiest to use with really nice editing features. It took no time to put my slideshow together. I ended up paying for the Premium Membership so that I could burn on to DVD's for my students and make one for next year's class. Well worth it!
It is deceptive to the consumer, as the site lets you create a beautiful slide show and then tells you if you want to use all the cool tools you have to subscribe. You can only burn a disk if you subscribe for 2 years. I like the tools (as I was forced to subscribe or lose my hard work that I did for a school project). I like the site, but I don't like that it is not upfront to consumers.
Kizoa has all the tools you need to make the best photo slide shows. I use it every year to make slide show videos for my daughter's birthday. Our family and friends love the videos, and some cry due to being overwhelmed with happiness.
I am an annual subscriber due to the results that I mentioned above. However, this program is far from perfect. After you submit the photos that you want in the show the program generates the show for you after you complete the steps of the wizard. After the wizard does it's thing is where things become difficult because you are going to need to do some editing. Nothing about the editing process is fast or easy. I normally spend between 16 and 32 hours editing the slideshow, and the process could be much quicker if the developers had implemented more user friendly editing tools.
My brother recently passed away and I was asked to do a slideshow of pictures for his Celebration of Life party. Kizoa was incredibly simple to use which was a tremendous help in a stressful situation. The end result was amazing and I could not be happier.
Excellent, I wanted to create a video slideshow for my grandfather who passed away... This site helped me do complete justice to his life, thank you for this:-)... Words cannot express my gratitude towards you...
I searched for a replacement for Phanfare music/photo/video slideshow hosting for years and glad I located Kizoa. I believe it is hands down favorite for my needs. It takes a little time to come up to speed but once there, it is powerful and lets me upload music of my choice and HD quality photos at the premium levels which are reasonably priced. Keep up the good work.
Hello Jeff,
We're glad that you like the platform as much as we do! We are constantly trying to find ways to make it better for all our users. Thank you choosing Kizoa :)
I have recently had two experiences of problems with burning discs of movies that I have made, warranting me to call your support team for help. On both occasions that I called, one day apart from each other, I spoke with a young lady both times whose name I believe was Elise. I was very impressed with her helping me get through my problems and was equally impressed with her friendly demeanor and courteousness throughout our whole transactions time element. She was very knowledgeable in her advice to me and was very kind and understanding. I recommend you immediately give her a BIG raise, and bill me for it if need be. But, as long as it's not too much of a raise... I'm only on Social Security.
Thanks for taking the time to review us, John! We're glad that you're happy with the program and with the service!
This is the first time I'm unable to access kizoa after several years of using it. I see it's an ongoing issue. Sure hope it comes back. I can't even access the site so not even the option of chosing or changing the language.
Dear Lynn, we experienced a major outage last week. In order to log into your account please type www.kizoa.app to open the website. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
The best on-line slideshow tool. There are a lot of features and effects for images and videos. Nice background music available. I've created more than 10 slideshows and HD videos. It was fun and easy.
I worked on a 40th birthday slideshow for many hours for my husband's birthday and did not find out till the end that it would cost money. This should be disclosed up front! This is how they get you, you worked for many hours so you feel forced to pay. Not an ethical business practice in my opinion.
Hi Susan, I apologize for the confusion regarding our Premium features. I have gone ahead and submitted your movie to be sent to you in a video MP4 file so that you can keep it and save it on your computer or USB stick. While the majority of Kizoa is free and you can download your movies in video format to your computer so long as they are under 1 minute in length, we do have certain features such as downloading longer movies or burning to DVD that are part of our Premium memberships. You can consult our Premium memberships on both our website as well as within your Kizoa account by clicking on the large orange button "Premium" in the upper-left corner of the page. I hope this helps and feel free to get in touch with us if you have any other questions!
Perfect! Made a wedding slide show for my son. Program intuitive and creative! Easy to add and manipulate pictures, music, slide tumes. Will use again for my other son's wedding. Especially like being able to share via email.
Terrible experience - I paid a full 2 year fee to use it for one day but I wanted to show my daughters wedidng pictures at her reception. I burned a DVD using their software and it wont play on ANY of the multiple dvd players we have. It was a total waste but they will not refund your money under any circumstances. DO NOT do business with this company - that's not how you treat your customers.
I have no words to express my gratitude to team kizoa. I made a wonderful movie for my husbands 30th birthday, without knowing about the premium membership. I immediately emailed and requested if I could download the movie without paying anything. To my surprise I got a reply ASAP that they will consider my case and provide me free download. The best part, they sent me the download link 3 times, every time I updated. My husband was super happy and loved it. Thnx
I am glad that we were able to help with your particular case! If you have any questions about our membership features in the future, you can find all the details for our Premium memberships under the "Membership" section on our homepage, by clicking the "Lifetime Premium" button in the upper left of your account, or by clicking on the "My Account", "My Plan" tab!
I asked kizoa if you could remove a comment that someone had made on one of my slide shows. You removed the comment and said you would let me know when it had been done. Although I wasn't notified, I was pleased it had been removed, so thank you for that. I am REALLY pleased with the whole kizoa experience and have made some lovely sideshows
I liked the features of this site and signed up for a free account. I put 1.5 hours in creating a slideshow and when done they said I have used some premium features, hence I have to upgrade my membership to a premium one. I was really frustrated at that time as I was planning to surprise someone with that video. It was like a sheer wastage of time and it actually spoiled my plan. My point is they should have mentioned the premium features so that the user thinks twice before using them. But from the very first you are alluring people to create videos/slideshows for free and suddenly after wasting their time, you come and tell that they need to upgrade their account. This is cheating! And you cannot run a cheating business for long. I will not use this site and will ask everyone to think before using kizoa. It's hopeless.
I had to find a third party to make a slide show for my website and found Kizoa. Easy to use and quick to get set up. Only down side is you have to pay to get rid of adverts and the Kizoa branding at the start of the slide show.
Love this application. So easy to use and you receive immediate help when you need it. The videos are great and there are lots of creative ways of making them. I have made 3 slideshows already and people were so imoressed with that they are asking me to make some for them.
Kizoa allows to create great slideshows and videos, but something very important for the main use I make of Kizoa is missing: I cannot manage the comments. When will you allow the author of a slideshow/video to be able to delete a comment that is not considered appropriate? I would highly appreciate you add this possibility at the shortest notice!
You're quite right, if you want any comments removed just email me at veronica.gomez@kizoa.com along with your slideshow title and I'll remove the unwanted comments for you =)
The product is excellent. A bit challenging but, if it was easy it wouldn't have the features I want! Please don't ever dumb it down. When I got stuck, I chatted with Alessa and she quickly gave me the answers I needed. She's smart and concise. Thanks so much!

Thanks for your review Brian! I've heard what you have to say and we also agree that the slideshow editing process can be improved. We actually just had a meeting yesterday regarding this and our engineers are going to get started on optimising the process of adding extra photos to a slideshow that uses a template so it'll be much easier and quicker.
