360 Image Widget Generator

360 Image Widget Generator

Generate a 360-degree product viewer from 3 static photos. Upload images of your object from different angles and get back a set of consistent views ready for an interactive spin widget. No 3D modeling skills or special cameras required.

Creating a smooth 360-degree product spin usually means renting a turntable, shooting dozens of frames, and stitching them together in specialized software. This Actor takes 2 or 3 regular photos of your object from different sides and uses AI to generate the missing in-between views. You get a complete image set that can be dropped into any standard 360-image viewer.

Who uses it	What they scrape 360 Image Widget Generator for
E-commerce managers	Create interactive product spins for online store listings without a photo studio.
Marketing designers	Generate 360-degree product assets for digital ads and social media campaigns.

What it does

This Actor generates multiple consistent views of an object from a set of input photos, returning a downloadable archive of images taken from evenly spaced angles around the object.

• 🔄 Consistent multi-view generation: Produces 4 or 8 evenly spaced angle views that maintain object identity, colors, and details across all frames.
• 📏 Adjustable camera distance: Choose a close, medium, or far framing to control how much of the object and its background fills the shot.
• 🎚️ Temperature control: Dial in the balance between strict instruction-following and creative variation for background and detail consistency.
• 📝 Custom prompt guidance: Add natural-language instructions to steer the style, lighting, background, or material emphasis of the generated views.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Why choose this scraper

	What you get
No turntable needed	Skip the hardware. Handheld phone photos from a few angles are enough to produce a full spin set.
Consistent object identity	The AI references all input images for every generated view, so the object stays the same shape and color as it rotates.
Standard viewer output	The generated image sequence works with any off-the-shelf 360-product-viewer widget or JavaScript library.
Fast iteration	Change the background, lighting, or distance with a prompt tweak and re-run instead of re-shooting.

Troubleshooting

The generated views do not look like my original object.

Make sure you uploaded at least 2 clear photos of the same object from different angles. Avoid extreme close-ups or heavy shadows. If the object still drifts, lower the temperature to 0.4 to force stricter adherence to your input images.

The background changes too much between views.

Reduce the generation temperature to 0.4 or lower. You can also add a custom prompt like 'keep the background perfectly consistent across all views' to reinforce the requirement.

My run failed or produced no output.

Check that your input images are valid JPG, PNG, or WebP files and that you uploaded at least 2 of them. If the issue persists, try a smaller image count (4 instead of 8) and ensure your custom prompt does not contain contradictory instructions.

The generated images look too similar to each other.

Increase the temperature slightly to 0.6 or 0.7 to introduce more variation between angles. Also verify that your input photos show genuinely different sides of the object rather than near-identical angles.

FAQ

Question	Answer
How many input photos do I need?	You need at least 2 images, but 3 images showing different sides of the same object (for example, front, side, and back) give the best results. The Actor uses all uploaded images as reference for every generated view.
What image formats are accepted?	You can upload JPG, PNG, or WebP files. Images are automatically optimized before processing, so you do not need to resize them beforehand.
How long does a run take?	Generating 4 views typically takes about 2 to 4 minutes, while 8 views takes roughly 4 to 8 minutes. Actual time depends on current platform load and the complexity of your images.
Can I control the background of the generated images?	Yes. Use the custom prompt field to describe the background you want, such as 'plain white studio background' or 'wooden table in a sunlit room.' The temperature setting also affects how strictly the background stays consistent across views.
Will the object look exactly the same in every generated view?	The AI references all your input photos to maintain consistent object identity, colors, and details. A lower temperature value (0.4 to 0.6) helps keep the object and background more uniform across all angles.
What can I do with the output images?	The generated image sequence is ready for any standard 360-product-viewer widget. You can embed it on a website, use it in a mobile app, or include it in a digital catalog that supports interactive spin functionality.
Does the Actor work with reflective or transparent objects?	The AI model handles a wide range of products, but highly reflective surfaces like mirrors or completely transparent glass can sometimes produce inconsistent reflections. Providing clear, well-lit input photos helps improve the result.
What does the temperature setting do?	Temperature controls how strictly the AI follows your instructions versus introducing creative variation. Lower values (0.1 to 0.4) produce more consistent backgrounds and details, while higher values (0.8 to 1.0) allow more variation.
