Spatial 360°/VR Media Metadata Injector

360° photos and video · Local processing

Your panorama is still there. Restore its metadata so compatible viewers can recognize it as a 360° photo or video.

Why your 360° photo looks flat after editing

360° cameras export an equirectangular image with projection instructions. Color correction, object removal or export from another editor can strip those tags. The pixels remain panoramic, but the next program may treat them as a flat image. This tool restores the instructions in a downloadable copy.

From editor to viewer

  1. Export a complete, stitched panorama with no crop and a level horizon.
  2. Add the JPG or video. Check its dimensions and the video eye layout.
  3. Confirm the panorama type, inject metadata and download your copy. Test in your viewer and publish through the appropriate channel.

Google Maps, Street View and Business Profile

Publish Photo Spheres through tools compatible with the Street View Publish API. Street View Studio processes videos and needs GPS; one fixed location cannot replace a trajectory. Business Profile uses a separate workflow and requirements. Metadata does not link the media to a business or guarantee approval, map placement or an interactive viewer.

Google Maps / Photo Spheres: 2:1, minimum reference 3840 × 1920 px and up to 75 MB. Check sharpness, seams and horizon.

Street View Studio accepts MP4/MOV and requires a valid GPS trajectory, embedded or in a synchronized GPX file. It converts outdoor videos only. Existing data is retained; the trajectory is not generated or verified here.

Business Profile has separate rules: JPG/PNG photos of 10 KB–5 MB; videos up to 30 s, 75 MB and at least 720p. A normal upload does not guarantee a 360° viewer.

What is written into the file

JPG: XMP in the GPano namespace, UsePanoramaViewer, ProjectionType=equirectangular, full panorama and cropped image dimensions, and zero crop offsets. Compass heading is optional.

MP4/MOV: Spherical Video V1 (Google UUID) and V2 (sv3d, svhd, proj, prhd, equi and st3d) inside the video track. Declares equirectangular projection and mono/stereo layout.

An injector with clear limits

Does not stitch lenses, level the horizon, fill gaps, compress, generate GPS or turn flat photos into 360°. Full panoramas only. Rejects JPG with pending EXIF rotation or ambiguous/extended XMP, and fragmented, encrypted or rotated videos, external references and multiple video tracks. WebM, MKV, INSV, VR180 and cropped panoramas are unsupported. JPG up to 100 MiB; video up to 32 GiB with a header up to 64 MiB. Your device may impose lower limits.
