About this Gigapixel

This panoramic photo of Prague, Czech Republic was created from 2600 individual photos. These images were stitched together into a single, seamless 360° image which is 260,000 x 130,000 pixels. If you printed this photo at 150 DPI (dots per inch), it would be 44 meters (130 feet) long! This image is therefore, as far as we can tell, the largest photograph of Prague ever made.

To navigate the image, click and drag your mouse inside the image. You can zoom using your mouse wheel (or using two fingers if you have a Macbook, for example) while pressing the shift key. You can also use the controls on the left side of the image.

The panorama was shot in May 2013 from the top of Petrin Tower, using a Canon 1-Dx. The shooting took about 1.5 hours.

You can see our other world record gigapixel image we have made of Tokyo.
