📀 Important Update from Milestone Slideshows

After many years of offering Custom DVDs, we’re officially discontinuing DVD production. As technology has evolved, most of our customers now prefer modern formats—so we’re focusing our energy where it matters most.

The good news?
We still offer fantastic physical keepsakes, including:

✨ GEM Flash Drives – sleek, durable, and perfect for gifting
✨ Video Books – our premium HD video players built right into a hardcover book

And as always, every slideshow comes with a downloadable MP4 video file you can save, share, and enjoy on any device.

If you have questions or need help choosing a format, we’re here for you. Thank you for trusting us with your memories. 💛

🎞️ Which image file format is right for your slideshow?
You’ve got those gorgeous photos ready for the big screen — but if they look blurry, pixelated, or wonky on a colored background, the culprit might be the file format.

In our latest blog post, we break down the most common image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP), when to use each one, and why making the right choice matters — especially for weddings, birthdays, memorials or corporate events. 🖼️

👉 Whether you’re building a slideshow yourself or handing it off to a pro, knowing the difference between raster vs. vector graphics and the best format for your job means your images will look polished, professional, and full of emotion.

Unlock sharper slideshows and avoid those “why is this image fuzzy?” moments.
