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.
