Facebook is not recognizing PTGui Panos as Panoramic Photos

[Victor Aragao Netto]

I always used PTGUI to produce my panoramas. I use drone photos. In the begining it was just necessary to downsize the file size. But now, even with small files (smaller than 100Mb), my panos are being recongnized as normal photos in facebook.

I always publish my panos in Facebook. But now it is not working.

Facebook changes their meta data requirements every now and then without
notice, and spherical panoramas are badly supported anyway. Meanwhile
you can try ExifFixer. May be you'll have more luck with that...

Or did you post process your images after stitching in PTGui? Many image
editors strip meta data...

Dear van..gmail.com and others,

It was the same issue for me until I downsize the 360pano to 20<30 MB.

Now it's Ok for me and my customers.

Cheers,

FWIW, I think the maximum image size that Facebook supports is 12kx6k.  We downsize all of our panoramas for publishing on Facebook and I'll try it again to see if it's still working.

Max Facebook size is 100 Megapixels. When you create the pano set the max size to 95 megapixels to be safe. I usually upload to Gigapan or 360cities and share the link in Facebook. Even if 360cities does not "publish" your pano you still have the link you can share.

100 Mega would be about 14000x7000.  You sure it will work at FB ?
