What krpano is
krpano is software for presenting panoramic imagery on websites, creating interactive virtual tours, and building custom viewer interfaces. It handles spherical, cubical, cylindrical, flat, and fisheye images, including tiled multi-resolution imagery and video sources. The viewer also supports depthmap panoramas, textured photogrammetry models, Gaussian splatting models, ThreeJS integration, and built-in virtual reality. Layout and scripting systems, together with APIs, allow custom solutions using XML, JavaScript, or both. Documentation lists plugins for Bing Maps, Google Maps, ThreeJS, video playback, and WebVR. Windows, macOS, and Linux desktop builds are available, including x86 64-bit and ARM64 variants, alongside web support. The full version can be downloaded and tested free, but unlicensed use adds demo watermarks. The krpano License costs €179, paid once plus sales tax/VAT and includes the viewer, tools, and plugins. A €299, paid once Branding Free License removes the About krpano context-menu entry and requires the standard license.
