Title: RotaKit – 360° Product Viewer & Spin Author: chriskatzer Published: August 27, 2026 Last modified: August 27, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/rotakit-360-product-viewer.svg) # RotaKit – 360° Product Viewer & Spin By [chriskatzer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chriskatzer/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/rotakit-360-product-viewer.0.6.0.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rotakit-360-product-viewer/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rotakit-360-product-viewer/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rotakit-360-product-viewer/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rotakit-360-product-viewer/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/rotakit-360-product-viewer/) ## Description RotaKit turns a set of turntable photos into a smooth, draggable 360° product spin— momentum drag, auto-spin on load, and mobile-friendly scrolling (vertical swipes still scroll the page). Your images stay in your own media library: no external hosting, no accounts, no XML. Don’t have a set of turntable photos? Shoot a short video of your product turning once and click “Create from video”. The browser extracts evenly-spaced frames, finds a clean loop, and uploads the frames to your media library. The video file itself never leaves your computer — everything is decoded in the browser. Create spins in the RotaKit admin panel, then embed them anywhere with a shortcode— Gutenberg, Elementor, any page builder, or a WooCommerce product description. Everything described above is free and fully functional. #### Highlights * Drag-to-spin 360° viewer with momentum and auto-spin * Reverse the spin direction with one toggle * Create a spin from a short turntable video, entirely in your browser * Frames stay in your media library — no third-party hosting * Fast: spins use WordPress’s already-generated “large” image size * Mobile-friendly: vertical swipes scroll the page, horizontal drags spin * Embed with a simple shortcode anywhere #### RotaKit Pro RotaKit Pro is a separate plugin that adds a degree scrubber bar, a chosen starting frame, custom colors, HD zoom into the full-resolution original, fullscreen, and WooCommerce product-gallery integration. It is not required — this free plugin is complete on its own. There is a link to it on the RotaKit screen in your admin, or you can buy it directly: https://checkout.freemius.com/plugin/33706/plan/55377/ ### Usage 1. Shoot at least 36 photos of your product on a turntable (equal angle steps — 36 frames is one per 10°; more frames, smoother spin). Or shoot a short video of one full turn and use “Create from video”. 2. Upload the photos to the media library with numbered filenames (product-1.jpg, product-2.jpg, …). Frames are always ordered by filename, naturally — product-2 comes before product-10 — no matter what order you select them in. 3. Go to RotaKit in the admin sidebar Add new spin. Select the photos, watch the live preview, and save. 4. Copy the shortcode and paste it anywhere: 5. [rotakit id=”45″] 6. In Elementor use a Shortcode widget; in Gutenberg a Shortcode block; in the Classic editor just paste it into the content. Optional attributes override the spin’s saved settings: [rotakit id=”45″ autospin=”false” reverse=”true”] autospin — spin once on load (default: the spin’s setting) reverse — flip the spin direction (default: the spin’s setting) The legacy form with raw attachment ids also works: [rotakit ids=”101,102,103,104″] ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install the zip via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin. 2. Activate RotaKit. 3. Open RotaKit in the admin sidebar and create your first spin. ## FAQ ### Where are my images stored? In your own WordPress media library. RotaKit never uploads your photos or video to any third-party service. ### Does the video I use get uploaded anywhere? No. The video is decoded in your browser to extract frames; only the finished image frames are saved to your media library. The video file never leaves your computer. ### How many photos do I need? At least 2 to render, but 36 or more gives a smooth spin (one frame per 10°). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “RotaKit – 360° Product Viewer & Spin” is open source software.
