Xpano is a free, open-source application for creating panoramas from image directories. It automatically identifies groups of images that can be stitched, then lets users preview results, zoom, and pan before exporting. Editing options include cropping, boundary auto fill, selectable projection types, and pitch, yaw, and roll adjustments. Exports are full-resolution panoramas with EXIF metadata. The app uses OpenCV and its stitching module for image processing, and it supports automatic command-line runs. Adding the `--gui` flag launches its graphical interface. The maximum panorama size is selectable and defaults to 100 MPx. Xpano is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows under the GPL-3.0-or-later license. Tomas Krupka is named as maintainer and contact. The release page says build logs can be used to verify the source commit hash and SHA-256 checksum. Its listed plan costs 0.00 USD per free, with no price or usage limits stated.
Who it is for
Xpano suits people who want to assemble panoramas from image folders on Linux, macOS, or Windows, whether through a graphical interface or automated command-line processing. Its editing and preview controls support reviewing results before export.
