Getting Started

Four easy steps to start

Upload all your files
through the Control
Center of the FTP. The
degree of zooming of
your pictures is only
limited by the pixel
dimension of the image.

Once uploaded, images
are automatically tiled
and stitched by
PackshotLive.
PackshotLive automatically
processes your images;
you just have to wait for
an e-mail confirming the upload for the treatment
to be completed.

Choose your
publishing options
and plug-ins: add
texts, sequences,
portfolios… This step
can be skipped. Also,
you will be able to
change your settings
on an image at any
time.

Copy the HTML code snippet and paste it on your website where you want the images to be displayed. Changes made on the Control Center will automatically be applied.

360° & 3D Content Creation

Put your products in good hands

Let your customers and users explore freely your products thanks to 360° and 3D picture viewing. A prospect interacting with the items on your site stays longer, knows more and buys more easily what he sees. It also helps drastically reduce the amount of products which get returned.

All PackshotLive Plans bring smooth, fast, easy-to-implement 360° or 3D animations to your site, online store or for any local use.

Quick Creation, 100% adaptable

Displaying online 360° and 3D version of a product is challenging: monolithic SWF Flash™ files force you to choose between quality and display speed - and a slow browsing experience or low-definition content are a disaster for any website. Then the resolution and specifications of the Flash™ file are hard coded into your site, making it difficult to update it.

PackshotLive makes it easy to work with 360° and 3D content by swiftly converting any sequence of pictures into a live animation - no pre-editing or dedicated software. Just rename your pictures, upload your images in your System Account and they'll be available as 3D/360 content. Afterwards, you can change the size and behavior of the animation at any time in a few clicks.

Performance

Quick picture display is the key. Users of your site don't wait for your products to display and a slow browsing experience negatively affects your whole product and buying experience.
