This wikiHow teaches you how to post a panorama picture on Facebook as a 360 photo. 360 photos place you at the center of the image and let you move around the panorama to create a 360-degree feeling.

Steps

1
Open Facebook on your desktop internet browser. You can use a browser of your choice.
- If you’re not automatically logged into Facebook on your desktop browser, enter your email or phone and your password to log in.

3
Click the Photo/Video upload button. This button is located below the “What’s on your mind?” text field at the top of your News Feed. It will open a pop-up box to upload an image or video.
4
Select the panorama photograph from your computer. Browse the files on your computer from the pop-up box, and click on the panorama you want to upload. Facebook will automatically recognize a panorama when you upload it.
5
Click Open. This button will be in the lower-right corner of the pop-up box.
6
Hover over the image thumbnail. When you upload a panorama, you will see a world icon in the lower-right corner of the image thumbnail in your post. The world icon will turn into a paintbrush when you hover over the image with your mouse.
7
Click the Edit 360 Settings button. This button looks like a paintbrush icon when you hover over the image thumbnail. It will open your panorama in full size and let you edit it before you post.
8
Make sure the Display as a 360 photo box is checked. This option will be in the lower-left corner of your image. Facebook will recognize a panorama when you upload, and this box will be checked by default. 360 photos show up on your News Feed with a compass icon. Other users can click and drag around the panorama to create a 360-degree feeling while viewing your photograph.
- Alternatively, you can uncheck this box and post your photo as a single panorama. This will show your full panorama in one single shot instead of a 360 photo.
9
Click and drag your photo to a starting point. This will be the first thing your friends see when they click on your 360 photo.
10
Click Save. This is the blue button in the lower-right corner of your photo. It will save your starting point for your panorama.
11
Click Post. This is the blue button in the lower-right corner of your post.
