360 panorama app for your phone
Vistura Capture is a free 360 panorama app that runs in your phone's browser, so there is nothing to install. It guides you around the room, takes the photos and joins them into one 360° photo. Capturing needs no account; to send rooms to a tour or download the photos, you sign in to Vistura (the free plan is enough). Send the rooms to Vistura and they become a tour you can share.
Free to capture. Nothing to install.

How it works
1.Stand in the middle of the room
Turn on the lights and open the doors. Keep away from furniture.
2.The phone stays in one spot
You walk around it in small steps, as if it were fixed on a pole. Do not swing it around your body.
3.Tilt only the phone to look up or down
Keep your arm where it is and follow the dot: each photo is taken by itself when the phone is still.
After the last photo, the phone lines the photos up and joins them into one 360° image. A whole room, photos included, can be done in under a minute. You check it on screen, then keep it or capture the room again.
What you need
Just your phone. Vistura Capture runs in the phone's browser and uses its camera and motion sensors, so there is nothing to install. Open the link, allow the camera and the motion sensors, and start with the first room.
For the best result
- A tripod keeps the phone steady on one axis and gives cleaner seams.
- In small rooms, such as bathrooms and closets, a tripod makes the biggest difference: things close to the phone line up more cleanly.
- Capture evens out the light between the photos. For the most even result, turn on the lights and leave the curtains as they are while you capture the room.

Questions
Is it free?
Capturing rooms and creating the 360° photos is free on every plan. Sending them to a tour uses your Vistura plan: on Free, the tour counts toward your 3 tours online.
Do I need an account?
Not to capture. To send the rooms to Vistura or download the photos, you sign in with your Vistura account, which can be a free one.
Can I use the photos elsewhere?
Yes. They are standard equirectangular 360° JPEG files with 360° metadata (GPano), so other 360° viewers and platforms open them.
Tripod or handheld?
Both work. Handheld, keep the phone in one spot and walk around it. A tripod keeps the phone on the same axis and gives cleaner seams, especially in small rooms.
How long does a room take?
A whole room can be done in under a minute: the photos (about 24, or 35 on the first room while the app measures your phone's lens), then the phone joins them into the 360°.
Do the photos leave my phone?
Not until you send them. The photos and the 360° images stay in the phone's browser storage. When you send a room, its 360° image is uploaded to your Vistura account; once the room is in your tour, the original photos are deleted from the phone and the 360° image stays.
