School Storytelling

Your Next Presentation Needs 30 Photos. You’re Not Going to Download Them One by One.

The Vidigami Add-In for PowerPoint and Word puts your entire photo library inside the tools you already use.

By Esteban Guti · April 2026 · 3 min read

Board meeting next week. The head of school needs a slideshow. The advancement team needs photos for the annual report. A teacher is building a presentation for parent night. Every one of them starts the same way: open Vidigami, find the right album, download the photos, open PowerPoint, upload them one at a time, resize, arrange, repeat.

For a 30-slide presentation, that’s 30 downloads and 30 uploads before anyone has started designing.

The Vidigami Add-In for Microsoft PowerPoint and Word eliminates that loop. Your collections, shared collections, and favorites are accessible directly inside the application — and PowerPoint’s built-in Designer can auto-layout slides the moment the photos land.


What Changes With the Add-In

Once installed, the Vidigami panel appears inside PowerPoint (desktop and web) and Word. You browse your library without leaving the document. Select photos from any collection, click add, and they’re on the slide.

📁
Your Collections

Curated sets you’ve built in Vidigami — event highlights, department showcases, seasonal roundups

🤝
Shared Collections

Collections from colleagues — the athletics department’s shots, the marketing team’s picks

Favorites

Your starred photos — the go-to images you use across presentations all year

🎨
AI Designer

PowerPoint’s Designer auto-layouts slides based on your photos, text, and image orientation

Select a collection, add all photos at once, and let PowerPoint’s Designer suggest layouts. What used to take an hour takes minutes.


Who Uses This

  • Heads of school — board presentations, state-of-the-school addresses, community updates
  • Advancement and development — annual reports, donor presentations, campaign decks
  • Admissions — open house slideshows, tour follow-ups, prospective family presentations
  • Teachers — parent night presentations, classroom recaps, project showcases
  • Event coordinators — graduation slideshows, award ceremonies, end-of-year celebrations
  • Communications — Word documents with embedded photos for newsletters, reports, and print materials

Everyone pulls from the same organized library. No more emailing photos back and forth or hunting through shared drives.


How to Set It Up

Works with both the desktop and web versions of PowerPoint.

Desktop

1. Open PowerPoint. Go to Insert → Add-Ins → Get Add-Ins.

2. Search for Vidigami. Select Vidigami Photo Selector and click Add.

3. Click Continue with Vidigami to log in. You now have access to your collections.

Web Version

2. Search for Vidigami and add it.

Once installed, the Add-In stays available for every future presentation. Select a collection, click the + to add all photos, and use PowerPoint’s Designer to choose a layout. Repeat for each slide.

Beyond Slideshows

The Add-In also works in Microsoft Word. That means any document that needs school photos — printed newsletters, annual reports, accreditation documents, fundraising letters — can pull directly from Vidigami without a separate download step.

And because the presentation can be exported as JPEGs or MP4 video, the same slideshow you build for a board meeting can become a lobby display, a social media clip, or a parent email attachment.

One collection, multiple outputs. Build the slideshow once. Export it as a presentation, a video, or a set of images. The photos are already curated — the format is just a choice.


How Vidigami Makes This Easy

The PowerPoint and Word Add-In is one of several ways Vidigami connects your photo archive to the tools your team already uses.

  • Access collections, shared collections, and favorites directly inside PowerPoint and Word
  • Add all photos from a collection to a slide with one click
  • PowerPoint’s AI Designer auto-suggests layouts based on your images and text
  • Works on both desktop and web versions of Office 365
  • Export slides as JPEGs or MP4 video for screens, social media, and email

Your photos are already organized. Now they’re also inside the presentation.
