Our review
PTGui and PTGui Pro are products of New House Internet Services B.V., Van Aerssenlaan 11, 3039 KB Rotterdam, registered under KvK number 27239909. The company states PTGui has been around for more than 25 years.
PTGui is stitching software, not a tour host. It joins photos into panoramas, including fully spherical 360 x 180 images, which other tools then turn into tours.
What PTGui does
PTGui drops in photos and works out the overlap automatically. It handles multiple rows and all lenses including fisheyes.
It includes interactive panorama viewers for local viewing and for embedding in a web page.
Licences and support
A news post describes a licence portal and company licences with seat management. Pricing was not in the text we read.
Support runs through the forum; there is no technical support by e-mail or telephone.
PTGui compared with Matterport
PTGui covers only the image creation step. It does not provide tours, floor plans or hosting.
Pair it with a viewer such as krpano or a builder such as Pano2VR.
Known limits
PTGui replaces only the stitching step, not a Matterport-style tour, and there is no hosted service. Prices were not read and support is forum only. For full tour building see Pano2VR.
