Photo Sphere Viewer – 360° Panorama, Virtual Tour, 360 Video & AR 3D Model Viewer

Equirectangular JPEG or PNG for panoramas, MP4 (or most common web video formats) for 360 video, and .glb/.gltf for the AR viewer.

No — shortcodes cover everything the Elementor widgets do. Shortcodes in particular go pretty much anywhere: posts, pages, widget areas, theme builders, even WooCommerce product descriptions.

That's WordPress doing it, not the plugin. Since 5.3, anything over 2560px on its long edge gets saved as a -scaled.jpg and served instead of your original. The plugin's ImageResolver can bypass that and load the real upload instead. It's a Pro feature — switch it on with the "Use Original Image" control in any Elementor widget, or use_original="yes" on a shortcode.

Yes, along with Qoocam, Kandao, and Android Photo Sphere XMP captures. Anything that's a properly stitched equirectangular image works without conversion.

Yes — drag-to-look, pinch-to-zoom, two-finger gestures all work on touch. Pro adds gyroscope mode so tilting the phone moves the view, which needs HTTPS to work.

As many as you want. Link them with 3D arrow hotspots, give each one its own caption and starting angle, and choose which scene opens first. Works in both the Elementor PSV Virtual Tour widget and the [psv_tour] shortcode.

The PSV 360° Video widget or [psv_video] shortcode handle that — play/pause, seek, volume in the navbar. Autoplay and loop are Pro-only.

Yes, through the AR 3D Viewer widget or [psv_ar] shortcode. It renders .glb/.gltf files via Google's <model-viewer> and shows an AR button on phones that support it. Pro adds HDR lighting, a skybox, custom camera orbit, and locks for zoom/tap-to-rotate — useful if you're building a product configurator and don't want visitors spinning things by accident.

Every panorama and tour scene has a starting yaw (-180° to 180°) and pitch (-90° to 90°), set in the Elementor controls or via the default_yaw/default_pitch shortcode attributes.

Yes, through shortcodes or Elementor templates — a reasonable alternative to paying for a hosted 360-product-viewer service.

It shouldn't — the frontend is built with Vite and only loads on pages that actually use a viewer. No conflicts we're aware of with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, or W3 Total Cache.

Yes, text domain photo-sphere-viewer, translations load from /languages/. Works with WPML and Polylang.

Free gives you all four viewers with no limits: unlimited panoramas, unlimited tour scenes, 360° video, AR 3D models, and the navigation toolbar — zoom, caption, download and fullscreen on every viewer. Pro adds: auto-rotation on every viewer, clickable info hotspots — points on the panorama that show a label on hover and open a panel with a photo, text and a link, which is what property and venue tours are built on — full-resolution original loading (so a 40MP drone panorama keeps its detail instead of WordPress's 2560px copy), the scene gallery bar and compass overlay for virtual tours, the panorama gallery, gyroscope viewing on phones, restricted viewing angles, on-screen move buttons and the description panel, 360° video autoplay and loop, HDR environment lighting, skybox, camera orbit and gesture locks for 3D models, and priority email support. The Upgrade screen inside the plugin shows the full comparison.
