Slideshows are a fun and easy way to display and share multiple images from your Photobucket account in a creative way. Click slideshows in the secondary menu, at the top of any album page within your account, to see the available slideshows. You can select from slideshows that are a simple single-image-at-a-time displayed with a text description, to an interactive game with your images as the background. After you create a slideshow, you can share it with others. See the Photobucket Slideshows tutorials for information about creating, editing, linking, and sharing slideshows.
