Drone360 is a drone photo editor and interactive 360 panorama viewer built for drone photographers. Sharing a 360 panorama through apps that remove its panorama metadata can leave it appearing as a flat image. Drone360 adds Facebook-compatible GPano metadata when sharing supported 360 JPEGs, helping Facebook recognise them as interactive panoramas. Import photos from your camera roll or the Files app, including images transferred from SD cards and DJI folders. Drone360 automatically identifies images with a compatible 2:1 panorama layout and lets you explore them using drag-to-look controls. Edit standard drone photos and 360 panoramas with aerial photography filters and manual adjustments. Fine-tune filter strength, hold to compare your edits with the original, and save your favourite settings as personal presets. WHAT’S INSIDE • Interactive 360 panorama viewer with drag-to-look controls • Editor for standard drone photos and compatible 360 panoramas • Facebook-compatible GPano metadata added when sharing supported 360 JPEGs • Import from your camera roll or Files app, including files on connected storage supported by your device • Free to import, view, edit and save edited copies inside Drone360 • One-time unlock to export and share your photos • 14 built-in filter options: Normal, Golden Hour, Haze Cut, Vivid Sky, Cinematic, Arctic, Dusk, Mono, Coastal, Soft Dawn, Overcast, Urban, Autumn and Clean Mono • Adjustable filter strength • Press-and-hold before-and-after comparison • Save, reuse and delete personal filter presets • Undo and redo filter and adjustment changes • Manual controls for brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, highlights, shadows, sharpness and fade • Vignette for standard photos only, excluded from 360 exports • Custom text watermarks with adjustable size and opacity, six positions, four font styles and six colours • Save edits as separate JPEG copies while keeping your originals • Share standard photos to Instagram, Facebook, Messages and other supported apps • Share compatible 360 panoramas to Facebook with GPano metadata for interactive viewing • Supports compatible photos and completed 2:1 spherical panoramas from DJI and other drone brands • On-device photo editing and viewing, available offline ABOUT 360 SHARING Interactive 360 viewing is available only in apps that support it. Instagram does not support interactive 360 photos: panoramas shared to Instagram appear as flat images and may require cropping. Facebook’s recognition and display of 360 photos depend on its current support and processing. Drone360 prepares supported panoramas with the required metadata but cannot control how another app displays them. Drone360 works with completed panoramas; it does not stitch separate images together. Internet access is required for purchases, purchase verification and online sharing. Drone360 is built by the team behind Drone Companion. We fly. We edit. We built the app we wished existed.

PanoFlow is a simple way to open and explore 360° photos taken with your DJI drone or panoramas taken on your phone or other devices. Export your stitched drone panorama, import it from Photos or Files and look all around the image on your iPhone or iPad. Full 2:1 panoramas open in a 360° viewer. Drag to look around, pinch to zoom, recenter the view or move your phone to explore the image naturally. PanoFlow is built for DJI drone panoramas, but it also works with compatible 360° images from other cameras and apps. Regular wide panoramas open in a flat viewer, so they are not stretched into a sphere. You can: • Import several images at once • Keep your panoramas together in one library • Rename and sort imported images • View the date, dimensions and file size • Detect duplicate imports • Share or export the original image • Delete an in-app copy without deleting the original • NEW Compare option. Pick two drone 360 images and compare them side by side in portrait or landscape to see what’s changed. Check out how buildings have changed, trees or landscapes, or building works. There is no account to create and no subscriptions for any of my apps - ever. Your panorama library stays on your device. Independent App Notice: PanoFlow is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by DJI. DJI is a trademark of SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd.
