Take a wide photo and bend it around a point so the ground becomes a ball and the sky surrounds it. Buildings and trees stick out like hair on a little world. It's officially a stereographic projection; everyone calls it a tiny planet.
It works best with a photo that has a clear horizon, with ground at the bottom and sky at the top. A full 360 degree panorama joins up without a seam. A normal photo shows a join where its left and right edges meet.
How to use the Tiny Planet Maker tool
- Choose a wide photo with sky at the top.
- Set the planet size and turn it until the join is somewhere quiet.
- Download the square picture.
Popular uses
- Travel photos and city skylines
- 360 camera and drone panoramas
- Eye-catching profile pictures and covers
Tips for the best result
- If the left and right edges of your photo look alike (open sky, a plain field), the seam almost disappears.
- Tick inside out for a tunnel, with the sky in the middle.
