Pano Owl is the one-stop shop for panoramas — capture, stitch, correct, and view in immersive 360°. Rebuilt from the ground up on a modern Metal pipeline, it reliably combines any number of photos into a single seamless panorama while preserving the quality of your originals. PRO-GRADE CAPTURE • AR-guided capture anchors a target grid in space around you — pan to each dot and the frame fires automatically when you're locked on. • Shoot at the full 48 MP of your camera, or pick 24 / 12 MP. Apple ProRAW (DNG) capture keeps true sensor data for every frame. • HDR bracketing captures 3 exposures per frame; the stitcher blends every exposure layer into one 16-bit panorama. • A live hold-still meter shows your movement during each shot — and discards the frame if you drift, so soft frames never sneak in. • Pivot in place for spherical panoramas, or slide along a wall, floor, or ceiling for flat planar mosaics — all six directions. • Rig Guide mode for camera rigs: the phone rides your DSLR or mirrorless and draws a grid sized to YOUR lens and sensor while you fire the real camera. • Choose any lens — including telephoto — to capture super-fine detail. On-device blur detection re-shoots soft frames on the spot. RELIABLE STITCHING • Planar, cylindrical, and true 360° spherical (equirectangular) projections. • Partial panoramas and full 360 — stitch whatever arc you shoot. • Gigapixel-class results: the streaming engine composes and exports panoramas far larger than device memory, with no resolution cap. • HDR exposure fusion, deghosting for moving subjects, and per-frame exposure matching for seamless blends. • Detect and stitch multiple separate panoramas from one mixed set of photos. VIEW & SHARE • Immersive in-app 360 viewer — look around by dragging or moving your device. Partial panoramas occupy exactly their slice of the sphere. • Open any panorama from your photo library to view in 360. • visionOS-ready exports: the complete 360 metadata set (GPano projection, dimensions, and pose) is embedded losslessly with EXIF and GPS intact — Photos, web viewers, and Apple Vision Pro panorama environments recognize every export as a 360. AUTOMATE WITH SHORTCUTS • Stitch panoramas straight from the Shortcuts app: photos in, finished panorama file out — with projection, export preset, ghost reduction, and auto-crop options, and live progress while it runs. • Script your defaults with Get/Set Setting and discover output options with Get Export Presets. PERFECT IT • One-tap auto-crop finds the largest clean rectangle — no black edges, ever. • Straighten the horizon, drag the corners to correct distortion, and fine-tune the crop. • Turn a video into a panorama — Pano Owl extracts the cleanest frames for you. Whether you're capturing a sweeping landscape, a full 360 of a room, or a gigapixel cityscape, Pano Owl makes it effortless.
