Create seamless wide-angle photos with professional-grade precision. Why struggle with the standard camera panorama mode? EasyPano is faster, easier, and more forgiving. Instead of a steady-handed sweep, simply take a few photos and let our Metal-accelerated SIFT algorithm do the heavy lifting. The result is higher resolution, less distortion, and total control over your final image. UNIVERSAL USE CASES ● Real Estate Professionals: Capture entire rooms in high detail. Use "Pannini" or "Homography" modes to keep architectural lines straight and perspectives natural. ● Large Group Social Photos: Never leave anyone out of the frame again. Perfect for family reunions or weddings. EasyPano avoids the facial distortion found in standard ultra-wide lenses. ● Travelers and Explorers: Turn breathtaking landscapes into massive vistas. Our Cylindrical projection reduces edge distortion for high-fidelity scenery. ● Architectural Photographers: Maintain straight vertical lines while capturing the full scale of a building or interior design. POWERFUL FEATURES ● Better Than Camera Panoramas: No more stuttering or failed panoramas because you moved too fast. Take individual high-quality shots and stitch them perfectly. ● Multiple stitching modes: Panorama, Group Photo, Interior and Screenshots. ● Pro-Level Blending using seam finding. ● Metal-Accelerated Performance: Enjoy lightning-fast processing and live updates. Changing any setting triggers an automatic re-stitch. ● In-App Guided Camera: Use the built-in level bar and sequence guide to capture perfect frames every time. EXTENSIONS AND WORKFLOW ● Share from Photos: Launch EasyPano directly from the iOS or macOS Photos app. Select your photos, tap the Share icon, and choose 'Create Panorama'. On OSX, share to the 'EasyPano' app. ● Filesystem Access: Full support for the Files App (iOS) and Finder (macOS). Import from external drives, iCloud, or local folders. ● Drag and Drop: Easily reorder your images into the required Left-to-Right sequence after importing if auto-arrangement fails. BASIC USAGE AND TIPS 1. Source Your Photos: Import from your library, use the in-app camera, or share directly from the Photos app. 2. Order Matters: Ensure your photos are arranged from Left to Right. Drag and drop to reorder before tapping "Create Pano." 3. The Perfect Capture: Maintain a 30% overlap between shots. Keep zoom and flash settings consistent across the sequence. Try to keep the camera level. 4. Refine and Export: If a stitch has artifacts, simply tap Retry. Once satisfied, save to your Photos or share via the system share sheet. PRO TIPS ○ Use the proper mode for the best results! See the Help text in the app for details. ○ When sourcing from the camera, try to maintain the same position with minimal camera movement. Try to ensure the level indicator is green in both directions for the best results. ○ The Retry Advantage: Our algorithm uses advanced math with slight randomness. If a stitch isn't perfect, a quick Retry can often fix alignment artifacts instantly. Download EasyPano today and start seeing the bigger picture.
