From Zero to Virtual Tour in Minutes
Whether you're using a professional 360° camera or just your smartphone, Spin Panorama makes the process seamless.
Capture Your Space
You don't need expensive gear to start, but we support it all.
- Using a 360 Camera: Use devices like Ricoh Theta, Insta360, or GoPro Max. Simply take the shot and export the equirectangular JPG.
- Using a Smartphone: Use a panorama app or a rotating mount.
- Pro Tip: Place your camera at eye level (approx. 5ft/1.5m) and ensure the room is well-lit. Step out of the frame or hide behind a wall to avoid being in the shot!
Upload and Optimize
Our cloud engine does the heavy lifting for you.
- Drag & Drop: Simply drag your images into the Spin Panorama dashboard.
- Auto-Processing: Our system automatically adjusts horizons, corrects minor stitching errors, and optimizes the file size for fast web loading without losing quality.
- Organization: Group your images into 'Projects' (e.g., 123 Main Street) to keep your workspace clean.
Add the Magic (The Editor)
This is where you turn a photo into an experience.
- Create Connections: Use the 'Portal' tool to link rooms. Click on a door in the living room to 'walk' into the kitchen.
- Inform Your Audience: Drop 'Info Hotspots' to highlight features like stainless steel appliances or a view from the balcony.
- Set the Scene: Choose your starting view angle, add background music, or upload a floor plan to help users navigate.
Branding and Settings
Make it look like your own custom-built software.
- Logo Overlay: Upload your company logo to appear in the corner or as a 'nadir' patch (the patch that hides the tripod at the bottom).
- Privacy Control: Choose to make your tour public, unlisted, or password-protected.
- Custom UI: Select color themes that match your brand's identity.
Publish and Share
Get your tour in front of your audience instantly.
- Direct Link: Copy a short URL to send via email, text, or WhatsApp.
- Embed Code: Copy a small snippet of code to 'drop' the interactive viewer directly onto your website or blog.
- Generate a custom QR code for printed flyers or yard signs—users just scan and step inside.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Spin
Lighting is Key
Open all curtains and turn on all lights. Consistency in lighting makes the transition between rooms feel natural.
Clear the Clutter
A 360 camera sees everything. Make sure there are no stray jackets, trash cans, or people in the shot.
The Center Point
Place the tripod in the center of the room to give the viewer the best sense of scale and depth.
