Virtual Tour Creator: Make 360° Virtual Tours Online
Hugepano is a virtual tour creator and hosting platform. Upload your 360° panoramas, connect them into an interactive tour, and publish it with a link or an embed code. You do not need to write code, and you do not need a special camera.
Why make a virtual tour
Visitors explore a place at their own pace before they travel, buy or book. A virtual tour answers questions that photos leave open: how rooms connect, how large a space feels and what the view looks like. Because tours are hosted online, you can make a virtual tour once and use it on your website, in listings and in messages by link.
What you can create with Hugepano
- Interactive 360° tours from panoramas shot with any 360° camera that outputs equirectangular images, such as the Insta360 X4, Ricoh Theta Z1 or SC2 and GoPro Max, or from a DSLR panoramic rig.
- Connected scenes with Smart Spots: clickable hotspots that link rooms, show information and embed video.
- Before and after comparisons with the 360° Before/After Slider, which places two panoramas in one viewer with a draggable dividing line.
- Hosted tours that you can share by link or embed with an iframe on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix or your own HTML pages.
How to create a virtual tour in five steps
- Capture each room or location as a 360° panorama.
- Export the panoramas as JPEG or PNG in a 2:1 ratio, for example 8000×4000 pixels.
- Upload them to Hugepano.
- Connect the scenes with Smart Spots and add information, links or video where it helps visitors.
- Publish the tour and share the link, or embed it on your website.
The step-by-step guide to creating a virtual tour explains each step in more detail, including how to shoot clean panoramas.

360° panorama tours versus 3D scans
Hugepano creates tours from 360° panoramas, not from 3D scans. That keeps the equipment simple and the cost low: you need a 360° camera, not a scanner. If you are comparing platforms, read how Hugepano stacks up against Matterport, Kuula and Cloudpano.
Questions about creating a virtual tour
Do I need a special camera?
No. Any 360° camera that outputs equirectangular images works, and so does a DSLR on a panoramic rig.
Do visitors need an app?
No. Tours open in iOS and Android browsers and on desktop, and visitors look around by touch, mouse or by tilting the device.
