Every Pixel. Razor Sharp. Zeus Focus Stacking turns your iPhone into a professional macro lab. Capture multiple frames at different focus distances, blend them into one perfectly sharp image — front to back.

Smart alignment holds your frames in register through hand-held movement, lens breathing and focus shifts, and the engine renders them into a single image with finer detail and cleaner edges than any Zeus release before it — clean outlines where your subject meets the background, no glow around bright points, and no doubling when something shifts between shots. Core stacking runs on-device; optional iCloud sync and showcase uploads stay under your control. BUILT-IN EDITOR • Exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, color and vignette — every change stays adjustable, and your original stays safe • Crop and straighten • AI object removal — paint over a distraction and it disappears (Pro) • 2× Super Resolution — double the resolution for galleries and large prints (Pro) PRO • Capture Speed — pick Max Speed for near-instant brackets (lighter per-frame processing) or Max Quality for the most per-frame detail; every stack exports at full resolution • iCloud Sync — projects and original frames across all your devices GALLERY THAT KEEPS UP • Original frames preserved for every project — re-stack with newer engines anytime • HEIC and JPEG export, native Photos sharing • Picture of the Week — submit your best focus stacks to the gallery TUNED TO EACH iPHONE Each iPhone model gets its own calibration profile, so the stacking engine knows exactly how your lens behaves. Sharper alignment, no manual tweaks. Macro photography. Product shots. Jewelry. Watches. Coins. Insects. Botanical specimens. Forensic detail. Whatever the subject — Zeus Focus Stacking handles depth so you don't have to. Free to download. Pro upgrade unlocks full-resolution export, Ultra 48 MP capture, AI object removal, 2× Super Resolution, iCloud sync, Capture Speed control, and 20-frame brackets.

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.
