Marzipano is a JavaScript 360° media viewer for the web, built on WebGL, for displaying panoramas and virtual tours. It provides a powerful API for scenes, views, hotspots, and autorotation, and ships as a standalone script or npm package.

Use cases

  • embed 360° panoramas on a website
  • build a virtual tour from equirectangular or cube-face panoramas
  • display large tiled panorama images with good performance
  • add hotspots and autorotate to a panorama viewer
  • create a custom WebGL-based 360 viewer with a JavaScript API

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight (~55KB gzipped) browser-based 360° viewer
  • you want fine-grained control over scenes, views, and geometry via a JS API
  • you need broad desktop and mobile browser support
  • you want to export a virtual tour as a deployable web app boilerplate

When to avoid

  • you need 360° video playback rather than image panoramas
  • you want a fully managed/hosted tour builder with no coding
  • you need active feature development - the project is in maintenance mode with infrequent releases
