01

Add your material

Drag the files onto the window or click Drop PDFs or images here.

  • PDF: each page becomes a slide.
  • Images: PNG, JPG or WebP, one slide each.
  • You can combine several: everything is added at the end, in the order you drop it.
Change the orderDrag the thumbnails at the bottom. To remove one, hover over it and press ✕ (or select it and press ⌫).

Choose the screen

In Screen you choose the output resolution. If you’re not sure, ask what resolution the projector or LED screen runs at, or use 1920×1080, the most common one.

ForUse
Projector or standard screen1920×1080 · Full HD
LED screen or 4K TV3840×2160 · 4K UHD
Older projector1024×768 or 1440×1080 · 4:3
Totem, rotated screen or stories1080×1920 · 9:16 vertical
LED screen with an odd sizeCustom… (enter the exact pixels)

Then choose how the material fits when it doesn’t have the same shape as the screen:

A4
FitEverything is visible, with bars in the background color.
A4
FillCovers the whole screen and crops whatever doesn’t fit.
A4
StretchCovers the whole screen by distorting it. Only use it when the shape is already almost the same.

The margin leaves some breathing room around the edges, useful on projectors that crop the borders.

PPT

Looping PowerPoint

  • Auto-advance: moves to the next slide on its own after the seconds you choose.
  • Transition: hard cut or fade.
  • Loop: when it reaches the end it starts over, until you press Esc.

Open the file and click Play From Start. Nothing else to touch.

Keynote and Google SlidesThey open the file too. In Keynote, if it doesn’t loop, turn it on in the Document panel with the option to loop the slideshow.
MP4

Looping video

  • Seconds per slide and a fade between them.
  • Frames/s: 25 for Europe (PAL), 30 or 60 if the rest of the show runs at that rate.
  • Fade from last to first: the video joins up seamlessly when it repeats, with no jump.

Click Generate MP4 video. It takes a few seconds; no need to wait in real time.

QLabDrag the MP4 into a video cue and set Infinite loop in the Time & Loops tab.
BrowserVideo needs an up-to-date Chrome, Edge or Safari. At 4K, some computers can’t encode: if it fails, try 1920×1080.
