Uploading Images Best Practices

What is the best settings and process to upload images on CloudPano.com?

Here is a few important tips for image uploading:

  1. Upload 360 images ( .jpg, .png, or .tiff) 50MB per photo max, and upload 3-5 images per batch
  2. Files sizes around 1 – 2 MB perform very well without losing quality (I recommend testing different file sizes based on your preferences).
  3. The photos you upload in the tour viewer must be 360º images. This means the photo is 2:1 ratio and equirectangular. If you would like to add still images, you can do so into a info spot or a custom icon. Note: Overtime CloudPano’s functionality will continue to be updated. As we add features and options your image uploading options will grow.
