Panorama Stitcher App Reviews
Excellent !
Easy to use, very good results (even with 12 "continuous" photos taken on a forest trail) : a must have for this price (80% disclaim : 2,99 €)
Small, Powerful
This program sure takes the guess work out of making panoramas out of multiple pics. It’s a small but powerful little program, LOVE IT!!!
This product was very disappointing. It does a great job of stitching together two of the source images I imported, but fails to do more than that. According to the VERY MINIMAL support documents on the developers website, I should just be able to drag and job all of my images and let the program do it’s job, but this isn’t the case. The program ignores all but the first two source images no matter how many times I try or what source images I use. If there are limitations in the number/size of source images, this should be clearly stated in the description. I gave this program a shot because I had to produce a couple of panoramas on short notice. Wish I could get my money back.
Purchased this a while ago and finally got arround to using it. I am so glad I did! This program is absolutely brilliant and I would purchase it one hundred times over! Amazing!
I spent several months at my previous employer developing a tool to create HDR panoramas, so I have some experience in this area. Its not easy to create an artifact-free panorama. This app does it, and does it automatically. Some people might want more control, but it gives you control over the most important things. In particular, it does an amazing job of removing ghosting.
Will not work on photos that other similar apps handle. I loaded in a photo that I had scanned in two parts. The program said that it could not find any matches to stick together. Tried support, but get a message saying that this is not the page you are looking for. I want a refund.
I have been using the expensive spread for so many years that I thought that this was a little on the cheap side to do anything. The first thing that I did was a 6 pane Canon 6D panorama. The 6 panes were in camera raw and no post processing done before the test. I dragged the panes to the program page, immediately the program started processing. The finished panorama was impressive. The one thing that would be really handy is to save to Adobe Digital Negative (DGN) as a save format. My problem with JPG is loss of data and inability to perform post processing without loss of quality, TIFF in some instances will not hold enough data and I have little or no experience with PNG.
I scanned a large map twice, since my scanner was not large enough, with plenty of overlap. Both scans were identical in size. The program told me the images had incompatible dimensions. Not at all helpful.
I had been using a few Panoramic stitching software ranging from a few hundred dollars to USD50 ……… and to my dismay and frustrations …… some of those software are not able to handle the slightest missalignment issues. Im really SURPRISED !! that this software is able to handle it pretty well , and with total ease, in that ….. from my Nikon NEF files, I can simply drag and drop into the box and WHAM !!! the results are astounding. For USD2.99 , this is a no brainer !! and a panoramic tool for dummies, this is so easy to use.
All I wanted was an app where I could drag and drop some images and get a panorama. This program does exacty that. Very quick and easy. I was using Hugin but this is much simpler and the results are just as good. Well worth the cost.
Deceptively simple, this program does a better job at creating panoramas than Photoshop CS did for me. Yes, I have to take the panorama and crop and edit as usual, but this application does that first step very well!
This program more often than not fails to stitch photos into panorama for me. When i place the same photos in alternate panorama programs, the stitching usually proceeds without problem.
Doesnt Work
I just bought this app to stitch together a large photo I scanned and it wont even import to photos saying the dimensions are to large. What a joke
It is fantastic. It handled 11 4-mg pictures of people sitting at tables, arranged in a circle, some with gaps between them, in less than a minute. I had tried two other programs, both expensive, and neither worked. Panorama Stitcher handled the job beautifully, quickly, and the result was fabulous.
This app is simple and elegant. It lets me drag and drop my set of photos in, and put them together for me really nicely. It doesn’t have a ton of features if you’re looking to really get into the details, but as a casual photographer who wants to fake some wide angle shots every so often, it seems to be just what I need.
Great App with a single focus.
Great App with a single focus. I like that. Better than hopping back and forth from different apps and ever-changing AI options. It does one thing and really well.
Excellent tool for DJI UAV 360 Photo Stitching
This was the most accurate, easy-to-use, and effective photo stitching tool I found for stitching together DJI UAV 360 photos. It stitches them seamlessly and generates the necessary metadata to display correctly on platforms such as Kuula, Panoee, Facebook, Google and others. Note for other users: If you change the view to projection, then use the crosshairs, you can select your default view. When you save your photo, the accurate metadata will automatically be injected so that your photo default view appears on whatever platform you are sharing it. Simply fantastic!
Great program
Works great especially for 360 sphere photos… One issue I am having is that it has some value clipping even when saving in tiff. for the most parts it will adjust the values really well. But there are some circumstances where the lightest lights or darkest darks will get over adjusted like clouds get blown out… original photo has tons of information in the highlights, but it clips it. Even if I try to adjust the photo darker before saving it the data is already gone which is weird… I hope this is something that can be fixed. Even if it is just keeping the bit depth so I can adjust it later
Preview looked okay, the saved photos are black
I paid for this app thinking I was missing out on the save feature. Turns out the paid version worked the same at the mini, the preview looks okay, and then it just saves a black image. Super lame app.
Mr
Very bad app
Works for large documents
Primarily I use it to stitch together very large documents which do not fit on my flatbed scanner. With the correct settings, it works extremely well for this purpose. It also performs very good on pictures. I just wish it supported automator actions.
Great app, could use a simple improvement though
I've been using this app for years with great results, mainly for landscape photos taken while backpacking. Highly recommend. However there is one improvement I'd like to see. I can drag and drop photos from the Photos app, or from the Finder but I end up with much lower quality exports being stitched together. Earlier versions of Photos used to warn about this, but now it's silent. To get high resolution images into the Stitcher they have to be File | Import imported. Not a big deal but it's easy to end up with poorly stitched images if you don't do it correctly.
I stitched together 137 photos and it worked
I have now made a 50,526 x 25,263 image. Idk how the app managed that but this is what I needed so great job.
This software does not work
I really want my money back. I have 4 phots with 10% overlap and I can see that they line up well in preview. This app will jsut stitch 2 at a time and when I try to stich the results, it says there is not enough overlap.
Great features, great support
This app has become invaluable to me for combining multple scanned pieces of artwork- when I need to scan a photo or drawing that is larger than my flatbed scanner bed, I can put them all through this app and get great high quality scans that are suitable for reprinting. Note: Make sure you use the "import" feature rather than dragging the images from Photos into the app. I was confused by this and emailed support about this and they knew exactly the issue I was running into and emailed me back almost immediately.
Problems with Completion and Saving
This is not working for me. I am attempting to stitch 40 columns x 10 Row panoramic images of a mountian range. The program cannot stitch clear or hazy sky pictures. Comes back with errors that the photos aren't compatable or it ignores them with big gaps. Also it will many times error and fail to complete savings what did construct. Bottom line, not useful.
quick, easy, great for 360 degree capture with DJI
quick, easy, great for 360 degree capture with DJI
doesn't work well, not worth $15
i regret paying for this garbage
Brilliant app
I bought this app today to merge 15 Canon RAW images of a 6x12 120 negative. Worked like a charm.
It's Stupid Easy
Drag and drop and it works! Tremendous value for the money. A pizza costs more in the US than this program. Eat at home, buy this. :)
Needs a lot of work
Not good enough for the prime time drone photography. Please refund me. Thank you
Works well for microscopy
I don't write reviews, but I needed to leave this here. I've been struggling to combine microscopy images using FIJI, OpenCV, etc. This just worked, and it did an amazing job. Saved me a looot of time.
Excellet!
Love that the developer has continued to support this app! It works so incredably well. I never have to use my tri-pod for panarama shots any more. Excellent!
Does not use multiple cores and has few options
It only uses a single core of my 8 or 16 core Macs. It also has relatively few controls or options. It can only save in jpg However, it does a relatively good job at the stitching and is relatively easy to operate.
Love it, needs M1 support
Hi - this is the best and most affordable panorama stitching program I've found, it works wonderfully. I would really like to see an update though to support the latest M1/M1Pro macs. Any chance of that?
10/10 - Works great!
I'm never one to write these reviews, but I have to say I was apprehensive about dropping $15 on an app, but after seeing how seamlessly it works, I'd gladly pay double! It works EXACTLY like the littie promo video. Drag in your images and bam a pano is made. 10/10
Works GREAT
This is a great and easy to use app. Just like the Photoshop stitching functionality but without dealing with Adobe. One request would be to integrate it with Apple Photos using the 'edit with' functionality. Otherwise - a joy to use. Thank you Olga!
Wow, this is good software!
Can't believe how fast and accurate it is, ever since Gigapan Stitch died on the Mac I have been looking for a good alternative, simple clean interface. If you do big panos, you need this software.
Works as advertized
No issues so far. Be careful dragging and dropping from the Photos app as low resolution images will be sent to Panorama Stitcher and you'll be baffled by the lowe resolution output.
Awesome App
This app is amazing for doing a pano 360. I was looking at other apps that cost 10x the price. The quality, ease and speed of this app give it a 5-star choice for me! I rarely give 5- star reviews, but this is the 2nd one today. I also gave a 5-star for the Spherical View Appl by the same developer! Well done.
Simple and Fast
Also great support. I had taken a number of overlapping photos of a tall redwood tree almost directly under the tree. When I imported the images into Panorama Stitcher the upper branches looked distorted. Less than 1 hour after emailing support I received a reply. I just had to rotate the image 90 degrees for my vertical panorama to fix the distortion. The technical term is transverse spherical instead of normal spherical. Runs fine on my M1 Mac Mini.
Works great with Mavic Air 2 360 panos
I’ve been searching for a while for an affordable app that can handle the DJI Mavic Air 2 360 panoramas. The drone captures 26 raw images and automatically stitches them into a circular image that appear on your iphone DJI app. My attempts to post process a rectangular image from the 26 separate photos has not been up to my desired results. The best tool I tested cost over $300. Great tool, but too expensive for my purposes. I then found Panorama Stitcher and figured the price was right and it claimed to be able to merge my 26 images for a 360 view. It processed the images on my first attempt. It even smoothed out the exposure variation, which is critical to getting the desired results easily without a lot of additional post processing. The software allowed me to quickly double process for two different output exposure images that I then processed using HDR processing tools. Results was exactly what I was hoping to achieve. Great product for a great price.
Works very well! (Photoshop Photomerge doesn't.)
Two tests: normal panoramic photos taken on my iPhone, and several old, large newspapers, scanned page by page in sections with plenty of overlap. This app worked in every instance, whereas Photoshop photomerge failed in every(!) instance, sometimes with some relatively minor but noticeable issues, and sometimes major(!!!) and unacceptable misalignment. Panorama Stitcher is easy to use, and very fast, and works perfectly for my needs. Highly recommend.
Does Good For most panoramas
Bought the pro version hoping it'd fix a panorama i was trying to create in the mini version... it didn't help. Had to re-install photoshop and photomerge within that program instead. Did a much better job stitching the photos together... So, panorama stitcher pro was a waste of money for me unfortunately.
Works great!
As long as I've had a decent amount of overlap between each picture, this app has worked flawlessly. I use it to stitch microscope images of objects with size larger than the scope's field of view.
Did Great with Astrophotography
I tried it on a set of photos that lightroom couldn't stitch 100% together and this did it without any problems. I do wish it had the ability to manually align a photo, but so far, no problems.
Not Very Good
I'm trying to stitch together maps, that obviously match up when placed side by side. Lines, roads, train tracks, section lines....you name it. I get an error saying: "There are not enough similarities in the images." They are parts of the same map!?!?!?!.....how much more similar do they need to be? For a $15 program it looks like the developer could be working on some of these obvious issues.
The BEST app I have ever downloaded!
This app is amazing! I have been flying DJI for over two years and have struggled with my Panarama's. I donloaded the lite app to try it out and within 5 minutes paid the $15 for the full app. It does exactly what it is suppose to do. And on top of that it is simple and quick! If you are looking for to create beautiful panoramic pictures this app is it!
Amazing!
This software is so simple to use, and yet it is so powerful and quick! I love it!
Worked great for large scans
I needed to scan a large document (1m x 1m) into a single jpg. It did not work at first becuase there was not enough overlap between the images. Once I rescanned with 20-30% overlap, it worked beautifully, first try.
Won't Save Panoramas
I invested $15 in this sticher and the thing won't even save the photos, it just jams every time I try to save. I've used this in the past and it's been great, but they've apparently got a major bug: it's of no use if the panorama won't save to the computer.
Sphere
Working great for horizontal and vertical panoramas but having trouble viewing a 360 picture. I am using my DJI Spark to take these pictures.
Panorama Stitcher is a fabulous app.
Panorama Stitcher is a fabulous app. I recommend it to everyone I see taking photos. Five stars is not enough. Quick, simple, effective and works flawlessly. Living in the Rockies with deep valleys and high ridges, many of my former photographs couldn’t include the sky or only captured 60 rather than 180 degrees of a scene. Even without me using a tripod, Panorama Stitcher has made this keen but amateur photographer very excited about taking pictures. The only downside; I ‘think' I now want to go back through twenty years of old photographs to see how many could be greatly improved by stitching them together. A daunting task! Congratulations Olga!!
Awesome 13 foot prints...
I have been stiching Hasselblad X1D images togerther and have produced prints 17” x 13’ {ft} with razor sharp definition. Worth the money! Highly recommend! What good is taking pictures if you dont print them??? Photography is about the print!
It is AMAZING!!!
We just got back from a Viking Danube River cruise and I took a lot of Panorama photograph wanna-bees. I used the free version, but it is limited to 5. Results were so good after doing 2 merges, I bought the full version. Bravo!!!!!!
Works very well
I screwed up. I wrote a nasty review giving Panorama Stitcher one star because I couldn’t figure out how to get it to perform an operation that I needed done, an operation that I considered essential. After I wrote my negative review, Panorama Stitcher support suggested that I send them an email. I did, explaining my problem at some length. They responded with a very gentle explanation of how to accomplish my goal. It was one of those “DOH!” moments for me. I suppose that I could hide behind the excuse that the solution should have been intuitively obvious to the most casual observer, but the fact is that the feature in question was very reasonably presented — the real problem was that I was too impatient to go through the documentation. In any case, now everything works perfectly, and I’ve got egg all over my face for unfairly criticizing them.
It works with DJI Spark
I have DJI Spark with auto capture panoramic shots. When I download them on my Mac I can use this app to stitch them together. It does a great job so far. I was able to stitch 46 shots to a nice panoramic photo. Thanks,
Don’t waste your money
Garbage-- very few manual adjustments available. Microsoft Paint is better at stitching than this.
A one trick pony that does its trick well
I am a professional photographer and this app plays a critical role in my panorama workflow. It is the simplest (by far) tool that I have found for creating equirectangular panoramas. It does the job efficiently and well. I process all of my RAW imagery in Lightroom/Photoshop, output to tiff, then use Panorama Stitcher to create the panorama. Then back to PS for a quick cleanup. Panos can then be viewed with google or Facebook viewers or, my favorite, the Pannellum (Pannellum.org) viewer, which is free, configurable with javascript, and can be embedded in a web page or in a browser window. Great little app. Five stars. Check it out!
Great app..
It says in the discription it supports apple RAW files. How come it will not let me import .DNG photos to the stitcher? I bought this thinking it would because it is writen in the description. Can you please inform on what RAW formats it will accept. Thanks

tis program downloaded perfect and was very easy to use. well worth the money.
