Tell viewers how to read the image

A panorama with missing projection tags may open as an ordinary wide photo. The 360 Metadata Injector identifies its equirectangular layout through GPano metadata so compatible apps can recognize the spherical view.

Keep the original picture data

The 360 Metadata Injector writes metadata without decoding and recompressing the picture. You receive a separate tagged copy with the same compressed image payload as your source.
