Tagging 360° Images

Uploading 360° Images

Start with uploading a 360° Image by clicking the ‘Create’ button and uploading your photo. The content type is determined automatically, so make sure that your image meets the following requirements:

• Supported file types: JPEG
• Aspect ratio: 2:1
• Max resolution: 8192 x 4096

Clone one of the images from ThingLink Image Library or download a sample file attached to this article to try out the editor!

Tagging 360° Images

After the image is uploaded, you will enter the editor. Click and drag the image to change the viewpoint and use the buttons on the left side to add a tag, access settings or save your creation. Explore the image below to see how the interface works.

Note: in the image below, only green tags are interactive.

Click ‘Add tag’ to begin tagging. Select a tag type on the left by clicking on it. Tips for tags in 360° images:

• Use 'Transit' tags to connect multiple 360° scenes and create an immersive tour
• Use 'Add text and image' to add more information about an object, for close up images or getting another view that isn’t covered in your 360°
• Use 'embed code' to add an embed link for another 360° ThingLink image to make it interactive within this scene

After selecting a tag type, use the fields on the left to enter content for your tag. Click 'Done' after you finish adding content.

To move a tag, click and drag it across the screen.
