WnSoft was founded in 1998. In 1999, we released the first version of PicturesToExe, a program for making photo slideshows. Users quickly flocked to PicturesToExe for its image quality and smooth slide transition effects.

PTE AV Studio is a successor of PicturesToExe.

Today WnSoft is the market leader for software for creating professional slideshows and audiovisual shows. PTE AV Studio and PicturesToExe are especially popular in the United Kingdom and France.

The key to our success has been ceaselessly improving and fine-tuning PTE AV Studio, which now has all of the features to make both simple slideshows and complicated audiovisual pieces. We have a great deal of experience in digitally processing images. PTE AV Studio is recognized today for its unmatched image quality, smooth animation rendering, support for inserting videos alongside photos, and unlimited creative potential.

A large community of fans has formed around PTE AV Studio, participating in discussion and testing new versions of the program. We listen to our users’ requests for new functions, thanks to which PTE AV Studio is known for its stability and reliability. Numerous major slideshow catalogs online have been created by users in PTE AV Studio.

In 2005, we launched a new product: PixBuilder Studio, a professional photo editor with layer support. This program is an excellent complement to PTE AV Studio and helps to prepare photos before making a slideshow.
