Most people don't like to figure out compression. It's now built-in and it will select the compressed file by default, while still having the ability to switch back to the original file if you choose to.
Compression makes sure everything keeps loading fast, especially when tours are going to be published to the internet to be viewed by thousands of people. Smaller total file sizes has huge amount of benefits. Beside faster loading times, lower bills for storage, lower bills for bandwidth, faster to publish and just generally speaking a much faster workflow.
This sample is compressing a 12.000 x 6.000 resolution panorama from 12.32mb to 3.90mb automatically as you upload a new panorama into 360Crafter automatically.
Another sample compresses 12.000 x 6.000 resolution panorama from 41.16mb to 2.83mb 🤯
It will still require more eyes from skilled photographers to double check the compressed quality. But from what I see, there's very little loss 🤩
And all of this without splitting up the panorama file into 100+ small files. It's just one single compressed file. Nice and fast for FTP uploads 😎
