How to Choose Between Photobook and Video Slideshow

July 7, 2025 By Alison Laverty

Ever wonder why some people prefer Photobook while others like Video Slideshow?

There are no right or wrong answers to this question. Except to say, what’s important to you. I love both and constantly take time to show both types of memories to my children—well they’re teens now. But both like photos and videos of our family or other memories.

Memories are truly important because they show evidence of our existence right through to our growing years and into adulthood. Packed with all our incredible stories and achievements.

With the rise of the digital revolution, technology has made it incredibly easy for us to preserve our memories. I know the struggle with trying to keep up with the constant change in technology. And not to mention the overwhelming sense of always trying to organize your photos and videos. I’m still struggling to organize my own photos and videos collection.

But, I do promise you, that once you set the organizing wheel in motion, you can create fabulous photobook and videos to share with whole family. And I’ll show you exactly how you can achieve this.

Photobook and Video Slideshow will be our Future Entertainment

There is no denying how technology has made our lives so much easier. But with much exposure to content and information out there, comes challenges of being emotionally overwhelmed. When technology is used wisely, our lives become easier.

Do you remember those magnetic photo albums? I grew up constantly looking through our family photos. We couldn’t afford the slide projector or a cine camera. But spending hours looking through old photos became my hobby. To a point where I, an eight year old picked up photography.

Now here’s the thing. The old photo albums are great, but you need to digitize them to create photobooks or videos for your family. You can do this yourself with a scanner or get a professional to do it for you. I use an Epson professional V series scanner.

Dropbox or One Drive is an online cloud software, you can use to share photos with your family anywhere. When your photos and videos are organised, you can then create photobook and videos easily.

Photos and storytelling are a huge part of my family bonding. I remember staying up in bed waiting for mum to come in telling me stories. And she’ll tell me the most amazing stories of her life and of mine.

These days, there are online software to help you create amazing photobooks with either matt or gloss finish. I use Mixbook which has an amazing easy online software where you just drag and drop your photos.

There are so many easy photo slideshow videos software online free to use. If you prefer a professional look, you must pay for the extra features. Or if you lack time to do it yourself, you can hire a professional to do the video slideshows.
