RoomTour

Listing photos

Your listing photos come out of the same tour.

When you publish a tour, RoomTour cuts ordinary photos of every room from its 360° photos. The walls stay straight and you see more floor than ceiling, so they're ready for the portal.

The problem

The 360° tour goes in as a link, but the listing gallery still wants ordinary photos.

The usual fix

Going back for another photo shoot, or cropping screenshots of the 360° with leaning walls.

With RoomTour

The photos come from the same visit. The virtual camera is held level, the way a photographer would hold it, so the walls stay upright.

How they're made, in three steps.

  1. The 360° photo of the example flat's dining room with the three frames marked on it
    The dining room in 360°, and the three frames picked from it.

    1 · Where to look

    In each room, the first photo faces the way the tour opens. The other two point at the most detailed parts of the room, at least 70° apart so they don't repeat. A view across the room beats a blank wall.

  2. The first dining room photo: the glass doors onto the terrace

    2 · The framing

    The camera stays level, with an 80° wide angle (about a 20 mm lens). The frame shifts down a little, like a shift lens, so you get more floor than ceiling and the walls don't lean.

  3. The nine example photos with the first three highlighted
    Free plan: the first 3. Pro: all of them.

    3 · The download

    Each photo is a 1600 × 1200 px JPG. Open the tour in the web dashboard and save the ones you want. The free plan gives you the first 3, which are the main view of three rooms when the tour has three or more.

What you get

What you need

  • A published tour. Any iPhone that makes the 360° tour will do; you don't need LiDAR.
  • Sign in to the web dashboard with the account you use in the app.
  • The free plan gives you the first 3 photos and Pro gives you all of them. While the launch offer lasts, every account has Pro. See pricing for the details.

Questions about listing photos

Are these real photos or renders?

They're crops of the 360° photos you took in the home, framed like an ordinary photo. Nothing is added and nothing is generated by AI.

How good is the quality?

They're 1600 × 1200 px JPGs, cut from panoramas 8192 px wide. A DSLR on a tripod will be sharper. What these have going for them is that they come from the visit you already made for the tour.

Can I choose the framing myself?

Not yet. Each room's first photo faces the way the tour opens, and the other two are picked by how much detail each direction has.

If I upgrade to Pro after publishing, do I have to redo the tour?

No. In the web dashboard, the "Create all the photos" button makes the full set again from the published tour.

How many photos do I get?

On Pro, 3 per room, so a five-room flat gives you 15. On the free plan, 3 in total.

Your first tour is free and never expires.
