Frequently Asked Questions

What is a jQuery panorama plugin?

It is a small script that turns a wide panoramic photo into an interactive viewer: visitors click and drag, or swipe on touch screens, to look around the scene. Many of these plugins support seamless 360-degree looping so the panorama wraps around without visible edges.

What kind of image do panorama viewers need?

They work best with equirectangular panoramas — wide images, usually shot as a full 360-degree sweep, that map a sphere onto a rectangle. A regular cropped photo will look stretched inside a viewer, while a true equirectangular image gives a proper immersive view.

Are these older jQuery panorama plugins still worth using?

Many were written for old jQuery versions and are no longer maintained. For new projects, modern standalone viewers such as Pannellum or Photo Sphere Viewer are safer choices — they do not depend on jQuery and handle touch, mobile, and current browsers better. The plugins in this roundup still serve well as inspiration and for legacy sites already running jQuery.

How can I add a 360 panorama to my website today?

WordPress users can install a plugin like Photo Sphere Viewer, which adds a Gutenberg block or shortcode — just upload an equirectangular image and drop it in. On a custom site, include a viewer library, point it at your panorama image, and initialize it with a few lines of JavaScript.
