ReelGeek: photos to a vertical video with Pillow, numpy and no watermark

Description and use

ReelGeek is a free local tool that converts photo folders into 1080x1920 vertical videos without watermarks or length limits.

Problem

Desktop photo‑to‑reel apps add watermarks, limit length, or require subscriptions for 1080p output.

Outcome

A free, local tool that outputs high‑quality vertical videos without watermarks or subscription fees.

Workflow

• Select photo folder
• Choose style and music
• Render 1080x1920 video with Ken Burns pan, crossfade transitions, and fixed‑interval sync
• Encode with ffmpeg

Evidence

ReelGeek does the plain version: Pick the photos, pick a style, pick some music; Renders 1080x1920, the vertical format the platforms actually want; No watermark, no length cap, no account
