Share and revoke a Popout 3D photo browser link

Reviewed

Create a browser link from a completed 3D photo in the iPhone app. Popout encrypts the work on your phone before uploading it. Anyone with the complete link can view and forward it.

Create and send the link

  1. Open a completed 3D photo in your library and tap Share.
  2. Read the confirmation: the work is shared only by link, anyone with the link can view it, and the link expires after 30 days.
  3. Tap Create link and wait for the upload to finish. Creating a link needs an internet connection.
  4. On the Link created screen, tap Send link or Copy link. Send the complete link, including the part after #; it contains the decryption key.
  5. The recipient can open the complete link in a compatible browser without installing Popout. They need an internet connection to load the work.

What gets uploaded?

3D photos are created on your iPhone without uploading the photo. Creating 3D photos is free.

Only when you choose to create a 3D photo share link is the work encrypted on your phone and uploaded. Anyone with the complete link can view it. Links last 30 days and can be revoked earlier.

The server stores the encrypted work; the decryption key travels in the link fragment. Treat the complete link like access to the work and share it only with people you trust. This photo-link flow is separate from the consent-based cloud processing used for figurines.

Revoke a link

  1. Tap Revoke link on the link screen, or open Settings › Shared, find the work and tap Revoke.
  2. Confirm Revoke link while connected to the internet. The link stops working after revocation succeeds; your work stays on your phone.
  3. Revoking or expiring a link cannot remove copies or recordings someone already saved.

If a recipient cannot open it

Check that the complete link was copied, including its # fragment, and that the link has not expired or been revoked. Try opening it directly in a current browser rather than inside another app. Never paste a private link into an analytics or support form. You can use Save as video in Popout and send a video instead; that video is a separate copy and does not expire with the link.

Sharing a figurine instead?

A figurine’s Share button exports a rotating video. It does not use the encrypted 3D photo browser-link flow described above.

Read the figurine viewing and AR guide.
