Our verdict on PanoLite

PanoLite is a free browser-based editor for interactive tours made from equirectangular 360° JPEG panoramas. It is aimed at hobbyists and small-scale creators, including real estate agents, educators, and photographers, who want to assemble and host tours themselves. Scenes can be connected with teleport hotspots, while informational hotspots can hold HTML-formatted content. Custom scene names and entry views help orient visitors, and tours can include audio or a nadir-cap image. The vendor describes processing as local to the browser, without panorama uploads to a server, which may suit creators who prefer that workflow.

The main distinction is the export model. PanoLite creates files rather than a hosted tour service: a standalone HTML file supports offline viewing, while a ZIP package can be uploaded to a web server for web playback. That gives creators control over where tour files are hosted, but also makes publication and delivery their responsibility. The product is therefore a better fit for someone comfortable managing files and hosting than for a team seeking a ready-hosted tour page.

The published product details describe tours as free and unlimited, with no separate paid tiers to compare. Its feature set centers on scene navigation, information, audio, custom entry views, and export; it is not presented as a broad tour-management suite. Choose PanoLite when private, locally processed creation and offline or self-hosted output matter more than a hosted service. Look elsewhere if you need the tour provider to host the result or if your source imagery is not in the supported equirectangular JPEG format.
