Input Formats

Below is a list of all file formats that Pano2VR supports as input image.

These are the file formats you can add to a project as nodes, through the Toolbar’s Input button, the Project Wizard, or by dragging files into Pano2VR.

Images

Supported formats for input images (panoramas and flat images):

Format Extensions Color Depth Comment
JPEG .jpg, .jpeg 8 bit
PNG .png 8 and 16 bit
TIFF .tif, .tiff, .btf 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit (float) Uncompressed, LZW, ZIP, PackBits, JPEG, WebP, or JPEG XL compressed; BigTIFF supported; planar files are not supported
Photoshop .psd, .psb Save with Maximize Compatibility
OpenEXR .exr half float, float
Radiance HDR .hdr float
Kolor Raw .kro 8 bit, 16 bit, 32 bit (float)
WebP .webp
JPEG XL .jxl

Images with an embedded color profile (ICC profile) are read with that profile; images without one are treated as sRGB. Which color profile the output uses is set per project, under Output Profile in the project settings.

Videos

Video files are added as video panoramas:

Format Extensions
MPEG-4 .mp4, .m4v
QuickTime .mov
WebM .webm
MPEG .mpg, .mpeg
AVI .avi

Pano2VR plays and converts videos with your operating system’s built-in codecs, so which codecs inside these files work depends on your system.

Pano2VR supports the following 3D model and Gaussian splat formats:

Format Extensions Type Description
glTF .glb, .gltf 3D Mesh GL Transmission Format, binary (GLB) or text (glTF)
