Panoweaver stitches source images into panoramas and can publish panoramic tours.

Professional Edition supports batch stitching and HDR stitching for 300 groups of images; HDR processing combines 2–10 stops per group and can output JPEG, PNG, BMP, EXR, TIFF, and HDR files. Published panoramas can be HTML5, Flash VR, or SWF content for PCs, mobile devices, and glasses. The interface supports English, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. The listed starting price is $149.95 one-time, and a free trial is available, but trial publications carry a watermark. The product is listed for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows.
