1. Slideshows
If you like sharing slideshows of recent trips, pets, family functions, or work events, turn to the Photos app or Photo Viewer app. Both offer slideshow options and all you have to do is press a few buttons.
Windows 10 and 11 only have access to the Photos app. Type Photos into the search bar in the lower left corner and tap the Photos app when it appears. When using this app, press the three-dot menu on the top right, then click Slideshow.
For Windows 8.1 or older computers, view a slideshow of your photos with Windows Photo Viewer. Just press the large button right in the middle of the app’s taskbar.
2. Share
One of the main reasons people take pictures is to share them with friends, family, or followers on social media pages. Join the fun with one of Windows’ free apps: Photos.
Sharing is easy with Photos. Select which images you want to share, then press the Share button on the top menu. This option allows you to share your photos in emails, copy them for social media platforms and more.
