Visual styles 7 ways to move

Choose a look. Make it yours.

Your media roll 3 demo frames

Add a folder containing MP4 or MOV videos. Clip audio stays muted. Starts, section jumps and exits follow the beat.

One photo roll for every style. Drop a folder anywhere, or use Add folder. Switching styles keeps the same photos and your place in the roll. Photos and videos stay local until you refresh. Video playback depends on browser codec support.

Tonight’s program

Seven slideshow styles, each with its own colour, camera and cut speed. Switch mid-song and your place in the photo roll stays put.

    Speed skate. A new photo on every beat.

  3. 9:00Neon

Slideshows, visualizers and moving wallpaper

One free tool, four ways people use it. Everything runs in your browser on Windows, Mac or Chromebook.

Photo slideshow with music

Turn a folder of photos into a slideshow that changes picture on the beat. Good for birthdays, weddings, trips, graduations and memorials.

Music visualizer

Play any song and watch your photos react to the bass, tempo and chorus, with VHS grain, flashes and colour shifts that follow the music.

Moving desktop wallpaper

Put Watch tape on a second monitor or a TV in fullscreen and leave it running as a living photo background or screensaver-style display.

Party and event screens

Plug a laptop into the venue TV, connect the DJ’s or Spotify’s audio, and your guests’ photos cut along with the music all night.

Lace up in three steps

A free online music slideshow maker

Tape 90 turns a folder of photos into a slideshow that moves with your music. It listens to the song, finds the beat and BPM, and cuts between your pictures in time, with VHS grain, scanlines, tape wobble and film-style colour. Seven looks, photo grids and mirrored layouts, captions from public-domain quotes or your own lines, and 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16 portrait formats. There’s no account and no upload: your photos never leave your device.

Questions at the skate counter

Is Tape 90 free?

Yes. Tape 90 is completely free, with no sign-up and no paid tier.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Photos, videos and audio stay on your device. Tape 90 runs entirely in your browser and never uploads your media.

How do I make a slideshow that matches the music?

Add a folder of photos, start a song, and press Connect system audio (or open a music file). Tape 90 detects the beat and BPM and changes photos on the beat. You can cut every beat, 2, 4 or 8 beats, or tap the tempo yourself.

Can I use Spotify or YouTube music?

Yes. In Chrome or Edge, choose Connect system audio, then share the browser tab that is playing with Share tab audio checked, or share your entire screen with system audio for desktop apps like Spotify. Only the audio is analysed.

Which browsers work?

Chrome and Edge on desktop support every feature, including system audio capture. Other browsers can play the slideshow with a local music file or the demo rhythm.

Can I add videos and captions?

Yes. MP4 and MOV clips from your folder can be mixed in as short muted excerpts on the beat, and you can show public-domain quotes or write your own caption lines.

Can I use Tape 90 as a desktop wallpaper or screensaver?

Yes. Open Watch tape and press F for fullscreen on any monitor or TV, and it keeps cutting through your photos to the music. It is a fullscreen browser window rather than a system wallpaper setting, so it works the same on Windows, Mac and Chromebook. With no music playing, the demo rhythm keeps it moving at 90 BPM.

Is Tape 90 a music visualizer?

Yes. It reacts to the bass, tempo, loudness and brightness of whatever is playing: photos change on the beat, the camera pushes on bass hits, choruses speed up the cuts and silences freeze the frame.

Can I download the slideshow as a video?

Not yet. Tape 90 plays the slideshow live in your browser. To keep a copy, record the screen with a built-in tool such as the Windows Snipping Tool, Xbox Game Bar or the macOS Screenshot toolbar.

How many photos can I add?

Hundreds. Tape 90 keeps your originals on your disk and only decodes a few at a time, so large folders stay smooth.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Tape 90 is a website: open tape90.app in Chrome or Edge on a computer and start. There is nothing to download and no account.
