    Ok, I give up. I want to make a screensaver with some images. Searching is confusing because programs let you make FREE screensavers, but the program is not free. UGH!!!

    Anyone know of a good screensaver creating program that is free before I stumble upon a rogue site looking?

    TIA

    Over at give away of the day

    Aneesoft Flash Gallery Classic 2.0
    Step 1: Add digital photos and sort them into the desired order. You can adjust photos with handy editing tools.
    Step 2: Choose a Flash gallery template and add appropriate background music to enhance the show.
    Step 3: Publish flash gallery as SWF, HTML or EXE file, or make a windows screensaver

    Enemy site, don't matter it's shareware. It's also for flash, not photos.

    It is says you can "Add digital photos" & "Make a screensaver and make it ready-to-use. "
    from the website "bring your digital photos to life in a stunning flash photo gallery"
    Yes shareware that is free today. Just uncheck the extra installer.

    Don't know if you've looked at this site: http://*********.********.com/browse/Graphics-Photo-Software/Screensaver-Creation

    There are 3 software programs on the list and these are supposed to be free. According to WOT it's a safe site. Just googled, found the above but have no experience whatsoever with creating such a thingy .... way over my head. :-D

    EDIT: link not showing. Sorry MA, can't seem to get it showing.

    Foogoo, still shareware as I said the trick here is they say you can create FREE screensavers to share, but the program is NOT free.

    OMA, I think I know where your linking, I will check it.

    Website: File forum.beta news .com. Click on "Screensaver creation" on the left side of the page.

    I typed out the website in another way and it still wouldn't show as a link.

    Ok Irfanview is free all the time.

    But today (or at least for a few more hours) you can download and install that program for free, register it via the activate.exe & pay nothing for it. I don't think you have to licensen the screen savers you produce.

    "Every day we offer for FREE licensed software you’d have to buy otherwise!" And it is legit most of the time the developers comment on their offerings.

    Might have to buy one. Zellasoft allows you to make a screensaver on your PC, not bundle for distribution, frustrating.

    Had no idea you wanted to distribute screensaver as that was not put in your OP. ;)

    Yep, frustrating!!

    At least with our posts someone may perhaps use the mentioned software to make screensavers for their own use. :)
