About Panorama to Cubemap Converter
This free online tool allows you to convert equirectangular 360° panorama images into 6 separate cubemap faces (Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Left, Right). Cubemaps are essential for creating skyboxes in 3D engines like Unity, Unreal Engine, Three.js, and A-Frame, or for virtual reality (VR) tours.
How to Use
- Step 1: Upload your equirectangular panorama image (usually a 2:1 aspect ratio image).
- Step 2: Adjust the output resolution if needed. The tool automatically suggests a resolution based on your input.
- Step 3: Click "Convert Now". The tool processes the image locally in your browser.
- Step 4: Preview the result in the 3D viewer and download the faces individually or all at once.
Features & Benefits
- Client-Side Processing: Your images never leave your device. Processing happens in your browser for maximum privacy and speed.
- High Quality: Uses bilinear interpolation to ensure smooth output images without jagged edges.
- Instant Preview: See your cubemap in a rotating 3D cube before downloading.
- Responsive Design: Works perfectly on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an equirectangular image?
An equirectangular image is a projection of a sphere onto a 2D plane, typically with a 2:1 aspect ratio (width is twice the height). It's the standard format for 360° photos taken by cameras like the Insta360 or GoPro MAX.
Why do I need a cubemap?
Cubemaps are used in 3D graphics to create realistic backgrounds (skyboxes) and reflections. They are more performant to render than spheres in many game engines.
Is this tool free?
Yes, this tool is 100% free and open for everyone. There are no limits on the number of conversions.
