Next modify slideshow settings from ‘Slideshow options’.If you want your images to appear in random fashion and not in the order which is shown in ‘Slideshow files’, use one of the ‘Random’ options in ‘Slide advancement’. You can modify this time limit or set it so next image is executed upon mouse click or key press. By default, IrfanView is set to automatically show next image every 5 seconds. Now select how you want images to progress in the slideshow from the top-left corner (‘Slide advancement’).The position of remaining audio files is unimportant but order them in the way you want them to play - IrfanView will play one after another. If you added audio files, make sure the first audio file is on top of the list. (OPTIONAL) Once you have loaded the images you want, order them the way you want them to display from the bottom-right corner using the ‘Move up’, ‘Move down’, and ‘Sort files’ buttons.If you want background audio to play in your slideshow, add MP3 audio files to the ‘Slideshow files’ list the same way you added images.Take note IrfanView supports videos but, as per my tests, IrfanView does not support videos in slideshows. You can add any image format supported by IrfanView, including JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, PSD, and more. Alternatively, if you want to add all the images in a particular folder, browser to that folder and click ‘All all’. From the top-right corner of this window, browse to the images you want to include, highlight them (hold SHIFT and left-click with your mouse button on all the images you want), and then click on ‘Add’.Once you have IrfanView installed, run it and go to ‘File’ -> ‘Slideshow…’.

HOW TO CREATE CUSTOM SCREENSAVERS OR IMAGE/PHOTO SLIDESHOWS WITH IRFANVIEW
#Create scr files .exe#
In this article I want to focus on one particular feature of IrfanView - the ability to create custom screensavers (SCR format - can be used as screensaver in Windows) and image slideshows (EXE format - standalone and can be viewed on any computer, regardless of if IrfanView is installed or not). However, some people may not know IrfanView is not just an image viewer - it can do things beyond displaying images. I’m sure, by now, most dotTechies have heard of IrfanView, a popular freeware image viewer and Windows Photo Viewer alternative we featured in our list of 12 free image viewers on Windows.
