360 PhotoLab earns its place in the Blender extensions library as an open-source add-on built around one job: reframing equirectangular 360° stills into rectilinear or cylindrical images, with print-size estimation for output-oriented work.
360 PhotoLab is an open-source Blender add-on for reframing equirectangular 360° still photos. It uses a camera-based workflow: load a 360° image, and the add-on sets up a Rendered view and Camera View automatically so you can compose a view. Framing controls cover yaw, pitch or vertical shift depending on projection mode, roll and horizontal field of view, with fine adjustment buttons for each.
The add-on offers RET, CIL and CLV projection modes and a comparative preview layout that places CIL and CLV on the upper row with RET centered below. An orthographic preview view drops the semi-transparent camera frame. Optional .cube LUT correction, resolution presets and print-size estimation round out the composition tools, and the final image exports as PNG, TIFF or JPEG.
360 PhotoLab handles seams robustly at ±180° and uses safer bilinear sampling around image borders. It is aimed at 360° photography, drone panoramas, virtual tours, landscape photography and print-oriented reframing workflows. Version 0.37.0 added an English menu.
360 PhotoLab is best for 360° photography, drone panoramas, virtual tours, landscape photography and print-oriented reframing workflows.
360 PhotoLab is completely free to download and use.
360 PhotoLab is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so you'll need that release or a later version to run it. The add-on is currently at version 0.37.0, last updated in May 2026. That release also switched the menu to English, so the interface reads in English. If you're on an earlier Blender build, you would need to update before installing the add-on.
360 PhotoLab provides three projection modes: RET, CIL and CLV. It also includes a comparative preview layout that places CIL and CLV on the upper row with RET centered below, so you can compare rectilinear and cylindrical projections. An orthographic preview view is available without the semi-transparent camera frame. The reframing itself is camera-based, with controls for yaw, pitch or vertical shift, roll and horizontal field of view.
360 PhotoLab exports the reframed result as PNG, TIFF or JPEG. It supports optional .cube LUT correction applied to the image, and it includes resolution presets along with print-size estimation for print-oriented output. The add-on also handles seams robustly at ±180° and uses safer bilinear sampling around image borders. These features serve the print-oriented reframing workflows the add-on is intended for.
360 PhotoLab is an open-source add-on released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it's listed as free here. Because it is GPL v3.0 or later, the add-on's source is openly available. For the current licensing terms and the source code, check the developer's page on GitHub. If licensing details matter for your use, confirm them on the developer's page before relying on them.
360 PhotoLab installs by dragging and dropping the add-on into Blender, or by downloading it and installing from disk. It requests a Files permission, which it uses to load local 360° images and LUT files and to export images. That covers reading the equirectangular source photo and any .cube LUT you apply, plus writing out the PNG, TIFF or JPEG result. The download is small at 18.6 KB.
