How long will each image appear in the video?

You can set the duration per slide in seconds. The default shows each image for a few seconds, but you can adjust this to any value. All video creation happens locally on your self-hosted server.

Can I control the output resolution?

Yes, you can set the target resolution for the output video. Images are scaled to fit the chosen dimensions while preserving their aspect ratios. Processing runs entirely on your own infrastructure.

What image formats can I use?

SnapOtter accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and BMP images as input. They can be mixed in a single slideshow. All processing stays on your server with no files uploaded to external services.
