I have been looking for months for a good slideshow creator. I don't like the pay by month options because some months are busy and others not. I have used this for work and will also use it for personal use. Recommended!
I had an issue with a slideshow i created. Alesa from Kioza went out of her way to help me resolve the issue. My son deploys soon so access to this slideshow was very important to me for various reasons.
I could tell from the messaging her team at Kioza assisted as well and due to their prompt efforts my mind is at ease as i have a working copy to show our friends and family.:)
I can't thank them enough! EXCELLENT CS! Thank you!
I wear a lot of hats with our nonprofit. And we get a lot of semi-usable footage and photos from cell phones. Our initial work with building messages with Kizoa has helped with our efficiency and brought us to the 20th (yeah, I know) century with our limited tools and time. Thanks!
Kizoa provided exactly what I was looking for to create a slideshow. I was a previous One True Media user so was searching for something that provided the same capabilities. Kizoa went above & beyond, exceeding my expectations. I loved that I was able to completely personalize my slideshow and how easy it was to use. The more I used it, the more great features I found which, in the end, resulted in an amazing slideshow! I have and will continue to recommend it to anyone looking for an online program like this. Its worth every penny! Thank you!
I made a video as it said it was free. I sat whole night to make a video for my school presentation and i'm really sad to know it asks for membership to download :( I still have 6 videos to make by 27th. Wasted my time on this.
Paid for a premium lifetime subscription and have had nothing but problems. When adding a gif to an image there doesn't seem to be a way to make it stick' without saving the whole slideshow. After that, the gif frame appears on all the images (without the gif) until I close the site & browser and pull it up again. Sometimes, when uploading photos or downloading a completed video it gets stuck and I have to start it over again. When I copy the link to share the online version, it only provides a link to the original slideshow I made, not the current version after edits. I've tried calling the customer support number but there was no answer. Not even a recorded message to say there is no one in the office due to Covid-19 if that is the case. An email sent three days ago hasn't been answered or acknowledged Overall, I feel that I've been ripped off and it would be great if either the problems could be resolved or I could actually reach someone to get a refund.
For years I used a online program for my slideshows for school. This year I had a ton of difficulty with it, so went online to find something and that is when I found Kizoa. After a few tutorials it was pretty easy to put together a slide show for our first grade program. The parents and the kids loved it. I then made a year end slideshow for our entire school which was a huge hit! Finally my youngest daughter graduated and I made a slide show for her graduation party! It was a great memory that I have shared with all our family. I am excited to continue with this program for next school years performances as well as family events.
There are a lot of things I love about Kizoa! There are also a lot of annoying things! One thing that would be very useful is in making a collage that there were lines showing you when the edges of photos are lined up. Also, another really nice thing would be to show which photos in your album have already been used in your slideshow.
Hi Marya, thank you for your suggestions. We appreciate your feedback.
The site was great to allow multiple people to upload and edit a project.
The application was easy to use and very intuitive so took no time at all for the average user to get up to speed and create something.
Hi Sean, thank you for your feedback. Stay tuned for the latest upgrades!
I made a movie using Kizoa software but had trouble burning it onto DVD using Kizo-Player. I called Kizoa customer service center but it was before office hours. Even though I did not leave any message, my phone call was returned within couple of hours same day which usually does not happen these days. After I explained my issue, they tried to help on the phone first but then sent me an email with very detailed instructions of how to uninstall and reinstall Kizo-player. The email also included plan B, which offered a link to. Iso file of my movie with once again very detailed instructions. I finally was able to burn my movie onto DVD with no issues whatsoever! Thank you Kizoa team for being so proactive and being so patient and attentive to your customers needs! Awesome software and even better customer service! I am a very, very happy customer!
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, Elena! I am glad that you are happy with the service and with Kizoa!
I recently bought the Kizoa top video making package and have been thrilled with the 2 videos I have made so far! One was for my 15th wedding anniversary (which included about 70 pictures and is about 7 minutes long) and one was for my Grandma's 90th birthday (which included about 400+ pictures and is about 40 minutes long). I love all the special effects you can add and the music that can be uploaded. The high definition looks so good on my big screen TV. Even pictures that are close to 90 years old look fantastic! When I called the customer service number with a few questions, they answered right away and were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend Kizoa to everyone!
I really like this program - it's the closest thing I can find to the previous site I was using and there are some aspects I like even better. My only complaint is adding music. The previous reviewer who stated that most slideshow software automatically starts the next song where the previous one ends was SO RIGHT. That is the only major complaint I have. The music seems to end in a different spot every time I play back my slides, making it almost impossible to add songs to the right spot. If the songs just automatically flowed this would be a non-issue, even if your internet connection wasn't perfect. This one fix would make a world of difference!
Hi Amanda! You've made a really good point and we're getting more and more people asking for this same type of feature. I've let our developers know what you and many others had to say about the music feature and they're working on evolving this asap. We should be coming out with a more precise music synchronising feature very soon, probably within these next couple of weeks.
Very easy to upload photos, using the templates for me is the way to go to get prearranged photoshows that are enciting and uses little time to coordinate. I make " Trips Down Memory Lane" often for my children and grand-children, they love them.
I first started using Kizoa for small slideshows for school and for my family. Since Kizoa introduced the film editor, I have done some longer slideshows with more than one music, with beautiful and fantastic efects.
Now Kizoa will have to consider the option of saving the work in screen format 16:9
Thanks for everything,
Thanks for your review Elvira! You're not the only won waiting for the 16:9 format, something tells me that your wish will soon be granted!
I was able to complete a really fun video to show at a work function. I am not a professional videographer by any stretch of the imagination but I was able to do something really special. I will use this tool again and again.
I purchased the $40.00 package in order to get a link for the slideshow, and it didn't even work when I went to play it. I was really embarrassed and upset that I had worked really hard on a slideshow of my students for it to just not work.
Hi Erin, sorry to hear about the issues you experienced! Can you let me know your Kizoa email address and the title of the slideshow that didn't work by sending me an email at veronica.gomez@kizoa.com so I can look into this and find a solution for you.
While I loved all the wonderful options that Kizoa offers, I was disappointed that I could not share my project in the free version because I used my own music. I wish I had known that up front. Also, I was disappointed that I couldn't change the template once I started to add photos. If it's possible to do that, I couldn't figure out how. But everything else was great!
Hi Tracey! With the free version you can use as many songs as you like, so long as it is music from the Kizoa library. We are actually considering removing this option in the near future so that the use of your own music is included in the free membership. Also, you can change the template of a slideshow by using the TEMPLATE button at the end of the film strip while you're inside the Slideshow Maker tab.
I use Kizoa the least of my photo editing options that I turn to for my blogs. I don't find it to be as user-friendly as it could be.
My "go to" is ribbet.com... it is super user friendly with tons of options for things to do.
I just find Kizoa to be incredibly confusing and it doesn't have the features that I need (or if it does, it isn't user-friendly enough to find them and apply them.)

Our family love to gather round the computer and relive past events through Kizoa. The effects and animations and addition of music and text make it a seriously engaging experience and even the 2 year old adores seeing past family dinners, birthdays and holidays presenting in this real and multidimensional way.
Kizoa is our family chronicle - and even the "littlies" are beginning to make their own Kizoa history to add to our past. My overseas family and friends look forward to seeing events through the slideshows which are so easy to share, and my work colleagues too are able to see and access powerful images of workshops and learning I have attended.
I LOVE it! I make wedding slideshows for a virtual world. I searched the internet over to find the perfect program, I tried many, and none, NONE even come close to Kizoa. Its the best in what it offers, its very user friendly, it updates frequently adding even more cool stuff, and the best of all, you can not beat the price! I can spend hours in this program creating, its endless and so are the possibilities. I LOVE Kizoa!

Answer: Hi Jesse, thank you for your service! I did receive your email and have activate your account to a complimentary PRO membership. =)
Answer: Hi Pushpa, it sounds like you may need to link your Facebook account to your Kizoa account by going to the "My Images" tab of Kizoa and hitting the blue and white "Connect" button in the lower right corner, in the blue Facebook space. You will then be prompted to enter your Facebook information, and once your accounts are successfully linked, please try again to post your movie!
Answer: Hi Elsi, it depends on what your current account status it, send us an email at support@kizoa.com with your Kizoa email address and we'll let you know of any specials.

Hello, sorry for the confusion. With a free account on Kizoa you can make movies, collages, and edit photos using your own photos, videos, and music. You can then share your creations online for free by email, Facebook, Youtube, embed onto a website, etc. You can also download your movies to your computer in video format so long as it is under 1 minute in length. We are currently working on a project to allow students and faculty who use Kizoa for educational reasons to obtain a free Premium VIDEO membership. I've gone ahead and activated your Kizoa account to a Premium VIDEO membership, so feel free to continue using it ;)
