Get your old Photo Story slideshow back as a video
Drop a .wp3 project file below. The page unpacks it, shows every slide with its narration and captions, plays a preview, and saves it as an MP4 you can keep, share or upload. It all runs here in your browser, and the file never leaves your computer.

This browser has no video encoder the page can use. The preview and the zip still work. For the MP4, use a current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
What comes back
Photo Story saved each project as a single .wp3 file holding copies of your pictures, the narration you recorded and any music you added, plus a description of every slide. So even when the original photos are long gone, the project file usually still has them.
Slideback reads that description and rebuilds the slideshow: how long each slide stays up, where each pan and zoom starts and ends, the crossfades, captions in the font and colour you picked, narration under each slide and music where you added it. You see all of it in the preview before you pay for anything.
A few things are approximations. Transition styles other than the crossfade play as a crossfade, and of the picture effects only black and white is reproduced so far. If your project uses any of these, the page lists them right after you open it.
What it costs
Opening a project, the preview and the zip of photos and sound are free. Saving the MP4 is a one-time US$19 for this browser, for as many projects as you like. The pricing page has the details, including the refund.
