How can I create 360 product images without an expensive setup?
You don't need an expensive photography rig or turntable. All you need is a smartphone with the Optimal 360 app for iPhone or Android.
The app includes a built-in autofocus camera. Film a short video walking or spinning around your product, upload it, and our engine does the rest - automatically removing the background and stabilizing the view for clean, professional results, even from a casual handheld capture.
