# Frame (spin)

> One image of a 360 spin, taken at a given rotation angle.

Also known as: spin frame. Category: 360, 3D and output formats.

In a 360 spin, a frame is a single image captured at one angle of rotation. A typical spin has 24 to 60 frames at evenly spaced angles, such as every 15° for 24 frames.

## How PhotoRobot uses it
