PicturesToExe (PTE) is a photo slideshow software application for Microsoft Windows, developed by WnSoft and first released in 1999.[1]

Overview

The software is used to create photo slideshows embedded in self-running executable files, so that they can be viewed without installing any player software. Slideshows can also be exported as video files or as DVD content.

The software allows the user to create different kinds of slideshows with the option for various transition effects, including 3D effects, comments, backgrounds, and sounds. Individual slides can also be customized with animation, such as the Ken Burns effect. The show itself can be synchronized to background music or simply transition randomly from slide to slide.

Creating the slideshow as a self-running executable file allows for the opportunity to password-protect the file, as well as to install security measures such as setting an expiration date or to block the print screen key.

Editions and output

The standard edition allows the user to create a slideshow as an executable file for Windows and Mac, or to export as an AVI video file. The deluxe version also allows HD video (MP4 H.264 file), DVD, and to post video content on YouTube, Facebook, or iPhone/iPad.

Books

Usage of PTE has been covered by how-to books, such as the French-language publications Diaporama Numérique by Patricia Ondina, and Réaliser des diaporamas numériques avec PicturesToExe. Version 6.5. France, 2010.
