Your website for online movie maker is the best for this matter but I want to have an mp4 format of my movie. It is too costly for me to pay for it and as a first time user I didn't know that it has premium membership just to download for the output. Can I request for a free mp4 copy on my account (*******@gmail.com). Your positive response regarding this matter is highly appreciated. Thank you!

I stumbled on Kizoa for a client who needed to make videos. Needless to say, I am not a video tech person. However, Kizoa saved the day. The system is friendly, good tutorials, easy to use, especially for the non-technie video person, lots of ideas. We love Kizoa.

Hello, we are really glad you love our program^^ Thank you for your warm words!
Very easy to use giving a very professional outcome. Some very clever, original and amazing additions. I've been using Kizoa for a couple of years and they add new items to enhance your slideshow. I'm very pleased and have received wonderful comments from recipients. They must think that I'm very talented and a 'techie' - but I'm not. It's just Kizoa allowing this to happen. Thanks Kizoa

I love the site so much that I even paid $50 for the membership. It was so far, so good but it's taking a long time sending me the video. It's already an hour since I requested the video I made to be send to my email. My video is only 30 seconds long so it shouldn't take that long. I use it for business purposes so that's why it's a bit urgent for me. Is there a reason why it's like this?
UPDATE: It's been 6 hours & I still haven't received my video.
Date of experience: November 1, 2015
HI Joanna, I checked into your video file and the reason you didn't receive it right away was because after you requested the video file you went back into it and made changes several times. Every time you continue modifying your video it'll pause the conversion process and restart once you're finished. So to ensure a speedy delivery make sure to not make any changes to your creation while you're waiting for the file ;)
Kizoa saved my bacon when I had to rely on online technology to deliver my academic research online all over the country. No more anxiety for me or having to resort to plan B - WHICH I HATE!
Now I know it's there waiting and all we need is a good computer with great sound. Jobs a good one - Thank you Kizoa :)

Kizoa has been great so far. It has been easy to use to make slideshows and video's of my family. I used the free service originally, but have since upgraded, and I am very excited to be able to download the videos I create now!

I love this slideshow maker... I have made so many videos. It is very easy to use. And FUN!
The only question I have is: Can I use my own images with transparent backgrounds? Like, if I want to add my own frame, or flower or something.
Date of experience: January 9, 2016
Hi Tiffany! We are glad to hear that you're enjoying our program. In answer to your question, Kizoa does not support transparency for photos. Feel free to contact us at customer support should you have any other questions!
I'm very impressed with this web based app though there is still room to grow. I bought the premium version and so far the support has been none existent. I've emailed multiple times to find out what the limitations are on animated gif uploads and how to remove the ones that have been cropped due to their size. So now I have multiple versions of the animated gif in the My gifs section and there is no way to delete them. By the way it would seem that the limit for them is 500x500 pixels as far as I can tell. Don't get me wrong, the product is great and has huge potential. I only hope they are successful in monetizing the service to grow and improve. Would be great if they included support and idea sharing forums within the site. This would help alleviate the online and phone support challenges.

Last year I purchased the lifetime starter package to create a movie for my speech class and it worked perfectly. I have been trying to create a movie for two days now because the videos are taking forever to upload.

We were trying to quickly download a slideshow for the visitation services of my father-in-law Alesa went above and beyond to make this happen for us and we were having trouble with the Internet connection. Thank you so much! Everyone was impressed by the slideshow and we let everyone know about your website :)

I have been looking for months for a good slideshow creator. I don't like the pay by month options because some months are busy and others not. I have used this for work and will also use it for personal use. Recommended!
Date of experience: August 31, 2016
I had an issue with a slideshow i created. Alesa from Kioza went out of her way to help me resolve the issue. My son deploys soon so access to this slideshow was very important to me for various reasons.
I could tell from the messaging her team at Kioza assisted as well and due to their prompt efforts my mind is at ease as i have a working copy to show our friends and family.:)
I can't thank them enough! EXCELLENT CS! Thank you!

I wear a lot of hats with our nonprofit. And we get a lot of semi-usable footage and photos from cell phones. Our initial work with building messages with Kizoa has helped with our efficiency and brought us to the 20th (yeah, I know) century with our limited tools and time. Thanks!

Kizoa provided exactly what I was looking for to create a slideshow. I was a previous One True Media user so was searching for something that provided the same capabilities. Kizoa went above & beyond, exceeding my expectations. I loved that I was able to completely personalize my slideshow and how easy it was to use. The more I used it, the more great features I found which, in the end, resulted in an amazing slideshow! I have and will continue to recommend it to anyone looking for an online program like this. Its worth every penny! Thank you!

I made a video as it said it was free. I sat whole night to make a video for my school presentation and i'm really sad to know it asks for membership to download :( I still have 6 videos to make by 27th. Wasted my time on this.

Hello, sorry for the confusion. With a free account on Kizoa you can make movies, collages, and edit photos using your own photos, videos, and music. You can then share your creations online for free by email, Facebook, Youtube, embed onto a website, etc. You can also download your movies to your computer in video format so long as it is under 1 minute in length. We are currently working on a project to allow students and faculty who use Kizoa for educational reasons to obtain a free Premium VIDEO membership. I've gone ahead and activated your Kizoa account to a Premium VIDEO membership, so feel free to continue using it ;)
Paid for a premium lifetime subscription and have had nothing but problems. When adding a gif to an image there doesn't seem to be a way to make it stick' without saving the whole slideshow. After that, the gif frame appears on all the images (without the gif) until I close the site & browser and pull it up again. Sometimes, when uploading photos or downloading a completed video it gets stuck and I have to start it over again. When I copy the link to share the online version, it only provides a link to the original slideshow I made, not the current version after edits. I've tried calling the customer support number but there was no answer. Not even a recorded message to say there is no one in the office due to Covid-19 if that is the case. An email sent three days ago hasn't been answered or acknowledged Overall, I feel that I've been ripped off and it would be great if either the problems could be resolved or I could actually reach someone to get a refund.

For years I used a online program for my slideshows for school. This year I had a ton of difficulty with it, so went online to find something and that is when I found Kizoa. After a few tutorials it was pretty easy to put together a slide show for our first grade program. The parents and the kids loved it. I then made a year end slideshow for our entire school which was a huge hit! Finally my youngest daughter graduated and I made a slide show for her graduation party! It was a great memory that I have shared with all our family. I am excited to continue with this program for next school years performances as well as family events.

There are a lot of things I love about Kizoa! There are also a lot of annoying things! One thing that would be very useful is in making a collage that there were lines showing you when the edges of photos are lined up. Also, another really nice thing would be to show which photos in your album have already been used in your slideshow.

Hi Marya, thank you for your suggestions. We appreciate your feedback.
The site was great to allow multiple people to upload and edit a project.
The application was easy to use and very intuitive so took no time at all for the average user to get up to speed and create something.

Hi Sean, thank you for your feedback. Stay tuned for the latest upgrades!
I made a movie using Kizoa software but had trouble burning it onto DVD using Kizo-Player. I called Kizoa customer service center but it was before office hours. Even though I did not leave any message, my phone call was returned within couple of hours same day which usually does not happen these days. After I explained my issue, they tried to help on the phone first but then sent me an email with very detailed instructions of how to uninstall and reinstall Kizo-player. The email also included plan B, which offered a link to. Iso file of my movie with once again very detailed instructions. I finally was able to burn my movie onto DVD with no issues whatsoever! Thank you Kizoa team for being so proactive and being so patient and attentive to your customers needs! Awesome software and even better customer service! I am a very, very happy customer!

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, Elena! I am glad that you are happy with the service and with Kizoa!
I recently bought the Kizoa top video making package and have been thrilled with the 2 videos I have made so far! One was for my 15th wedding anniversary (which included about 70 pictures and is about 7 minutes long) and one was for my Grandma's 90th birthday (which included about 400+ pictures and is about 40 minutes long). I love all the special effects you can add and the music that can be uploaded. The high definition looks so good on my big screen TV. Even pictures that are close to 90 years old look fantastic! When I called the customer service number with a few questions, they answered right away and were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend Kizoa to everyone!

I really like this program - it's the closest thing I can find to the previous site I was using and there are some aspects I like even better. My only complaint is adding music. The previous reviewer who stated that most slideshow software automatically starts the next song where the previous one ends was SO RIGHT. That is the only major complaint I have. The music seems to end in a different spot every time I play back my slides, making it almost impossible to add songs to the right spot. If the songs just automatically flowed this would be a non-issue, even if your internet connection wasn't perfect. This one fix would make a world of difference!

Hi Amanda! You've made a really good point and we're getting more and more people asking for this same type of feature. I've let our developers know what you and many others had to say about the music feature and they're working on evolving this asap. We should be coming out with a more precise music synchronising feature very soon, probably within these next couple of weeks.
Very easy to upload photos, using the templates for me is the way to go to get prearranged photoshows that are enciting and uses little time to coordinate. I make " Trips Down Memory Lane" often for my children and grand-children, they love them.

I first started using Kizoa for small slideshows for school and for my family. Since Kizoa introduced the film editor, I have done some longer slideshows with more than one music, with beautiful and fantastic efects.
Now Kizoa will have to consider the option of saving the work in screen format 16:9
Thanks for everything,
Date of experience: May 26, 2015
Thanks for your review Elvira! You're not the only won waiting for the 16:9 format, something tells me that your wish will soon be granted!
I was able to complete a really fun video to show at a work function. I am not a professional videographer by any stretch of the imagination but I was able to do something really special. I will use this tool again and again.

Hi Jessie, sorry for the delayed response! Thank you for your review of Kizoa; we are glad to hear that you are happy with the program.
