Google Street View stopped accepting my photos from Ptgui

[Robert Duguay]

I used to publish panoramic photos on Google Street View, but it doesn't work anymore.   

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.   But Google Street View doesn't accept my panoramic photos that I create with Ptgui.

Can someone has advices?

Hi Robert,

I don't think this is a PTGui issue. The one thing to check is whether
the GPano metdata is present in your images. This metadata is used by
Google, Facebook and others to detect that it's a spherical panorama.

See 6.17:
https://ptgui.com/support.html#6_17

Also make sure the image has 2:1 pixel dimensions. You might try
different output sizes.

Otherwise I'm afraid only Google could tell why they don't accept your
images.

Kind regards,

The other reason that StreetView may be rejecting images is the total image size is larger than the max either in file size or image dimensions. "Photo uploads to StreetView have a maximum file size of 75 MB and a max resolution of 100 megapixels" Normally, StreetView just seems to dump the upload without telling you why. However, Google process the images to multiple of 512 to fit their tile size of 512x512, so the practical max image size is 13,312 x 6,656 pixels (~88.6 Mpixels)
