A Deko360 tour is a sequence of 360° panoramas ("scenes") that a visitor can walk through, jumping between rooms using clickable hotspots.

## Step 1: Create a tour

1. From your **Dashboard**, click **Create Tour**.
2. Give it a name — usually the property address or a short listing title. You can rename it later.

## Step 2: Upload your panoramas

Deko360 works with **equirectangular** 360° photos (the wide, 2:1 aspect-ratio panoramas produced by 360° cameras and most 360° phone-camera apps) — not regular photos.

1. Open your new tour — you'll land in the **Tour Editor**.
2. Drag one or more panorama files onto the upload strip at the bottom of the screen, or click it to choose files from your computer.
3. Supported formats are **JPEG, PNG, and WebP**, up to 100MB per file.
4. Each uploaded panorama becomes a **scene**. You can upload several at once — one per room or angle you want visitors to be able to visit.

After uploading, Deko360 automatically processes each panorama (generating the smooth 360° view and depth data used by the viewer). This takes a little time — you'll see a status indicator on each scene while it's processing, and the scene becomes explorable once it's marked ready.

## Step 3: Add hotspots to connect your scenes

Hotspots are the clickable markers visitors use to move from one scene to another.

1. Select a scene from the strip at the bottom.
2. Click **Add Hotspot**, then click anywhere on the panorama to place a marker.
3. In the panel on the right, choose which scene that hotspot should link to.
4. Repeat for every doorway or transition point in the panorama — and don't forget to add a hotspot going the other way from the destination scene, so visitors can walk back.

## Step 4: Publish

Once your scenes are ready and linked together, publish your tour so it's viewable by anyone with the link. See [Publishing Your Tour](https://help.deko360.com/hc/user-guide/articles/publishing-your-tour).

## Tips for better panoramas

- Shoot at a consistent height (chest or eye level) across every room for a natural walk-through feel.
- Avoid direct light sources in frame where possible — they can create bright blown-out spots in the panorama.
- A tripod produces noticeably cleaner results than handheld shots, especially for the stitching seam.
