360º views: 360º photography (also referred to as 360 product photography, 360 spin or spin photography) refers to a photographic technique whereby a series of photos give the impression of an object rotating. These photos can be displayed as an interactive animation on web pages and apps, allowing users to control rotation of objects. The photos can also be displayed as an infinitely looped GIF or video. 360 photography is used primarily by ecommerce websites to give shoppers a more realistic impression of the product than static images. The use of interactive 360º spins has been linked to an increase in sales conversions and lower returns of unwanted goods.

There are 3 types of 360º photography spin: single-row spins, multi-row spins and twin-axis spins.
Single-row spins are the most commonly used type of 360º spin because they are the easiest to create. One row of photos is usually sufficient to give a lifelike impression of an object. These spins can be moved left and right only. They are often composed of 36 images (each separated by 10 degrees), though any number of images can be used. More frames per rotation will feel smoother; fewer frames will feel more jumpy.
While the cost of 360º photography falls, spins with 72 or more frames are becoming more commonplace, for their smoother, sophisticated experience.
Multi-row spins (also known as 3D spins) can be rotated up and down as well as left and right. They usually have 3 or 4 rows of photos, with 12 or 18 images per row. Each row is photographed at a different camera angle, allowing the product to be viewed from multiple perspectives. Multi-row spins require more time and effort to photograph, so they are suited to products that benefit from being viewed from above.
To display images as an interactive spin on a web page, a JavaScript image viewer is required. The JavaScript works by displaying one image after another, giving the feeling of the object rotating.
The user can drag the image left/right (or up/down) as if moving a real object.
JavaScript image viewers are either part of a hosted 360 image service or a standalone script. Hosted services work by uploading images to the service, just like Spin360.io, from where they are served with the scripts.
Upon upload, hosted services automatically create the spin, resize and optimise the images for fast loading. Image optimisation is of particular importance for 360 spin because the total file size of 36 or more images is considerable. Hosted services reduce file size and often deliver the images from a CDN, helping the spin to download quickly.
Hosted 360 services can also serve spins as GIFs or videos, which are suitable for embedding spins in social media and other websites where JavaScript is not permitted. Standalone scripts are installed on a web server, with some basic configuration. Images should be resized and optimized either before upload or on the server by an image processing service. Some ecommerce sites automatically resize and optimize images upon uploading, which can accelerate the configuration process. If using an ecommerce platform there are plugins to make it faster to configure and embed 360 spin scripts in product pages.(source: Wiki)

We provide you the option to use your original uploaded photographs of the 360º spins. If you are looking for optimized images to take advantage of the speed then we also offer you the option to use the resized / optimized images options for your 360º spins. The images you upload are resized to Full HD i.e. 1920 pixels in width, white the height is adjusted automatically to maintain the ratios of your images.
If you have your images in .PNG format then PNG is not a lossy image format, so you would likely need to convert the image into another format-- most likely JPEG. JPEG has a settable "quality" factor-- you could simply keep reducing the quality factor until you got an image that was small enough. All of this can be done without changing the image resolution. Obviously, depending on the image, the loss of visual quality may be substantial. JPEG does best for "true life" images, such as pictures from cameras. It does not do as well for logos, screen shots, or other images with "sharp" transitions from light to dark. PNG, on the other hand, has the opposite behavior-- it's best for logos, etc. However, at 800x600, it likely will be very easy to get a JPEG down under 1MB. Here's an example: You have a 30mb PNG image and you resize it to 800x600 pixel and then, even uncompressed, the image would only be around 1.4MB: 800 pixels * 600 pixels * 3 Bytes / color = 1,440,000 Bytes = 1.4MB. Therefore, you only need a 1.4:1 compression ratio to get the image down to 1MB. Depending on the type of image, the PNG compression may very well provide that level of compression. If not, JPEG almost certainly could-- JPEG compression ratios on the order of 10:1 are not uncommon. Again, the quality / size of the output will depend on the type of image.
Yes, this can be done. You can convert the spins into video and gif files. In Spin360.io we offer you the option to generate Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) video (.mp4) downloads and gif file downloads that you can use to post on your social network channels like Facebook, Instagraph, Youtube etc.
If you don't have a photo studio setup or have a portable photo studio like Foldio (or any equivalent foldable mini studio from ebay, amazon) then you can engage a local photo studio near you. Look for the studio's experience in ecommerce enablement. These studios have done it many times and are very familiar with 360º spin requirements. Any professional photographer can help create these still images.
