krpano review
A developer-focused toolkit for building web-based virtual tours, panoramas and 3D scenes.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
krpano is a downloadable software package for displaying panoramic images and creating interactive virtual tours on the web. It is aimed at developers, agencies and creators who want to assemble and embed tours into websites rather than manage projects in a hosted SaaS workspace. The package supports spherical, cubical, cylindrical and flat panoramas, video panoramas, depthmapped images, textured 3D models, Gaussian splats and VR experiences. Web, Windows, macOS and Linux support gives teams flexibility across development environments.
Pricing is license-based rather than subscription-led. The krpano License costs €179 as a one-time purchase and includes the krpano viewer, tools and plugins. It is valid for all krpano 1.x versions and supported platforms. The Branding Free License costs €299 as a one-time purchase, requires a krpano License, and removes the “About krpano” entry from the right-click context menu. There is no free plan, so teams should account for the license cost before building a workflow around the software.
Its strongest area is technical control. Developers can combine hotspots and navigation with custom layouts, XML scripting, JavaScript APIs, panorama-generation tools and browser-based embedding. Support for Google Maps, Bing Maps, ThreeJS and WebVR can help connect tours with mapping, 3D and VR workflows. Depthmap and 3D-model measurement tools add a practical layer for spatial presentations. krpano suits teams that need custom VR tour experiences and can manage their own website publishing. Organizations seeking a hosted workspace with a guided, no-code publishing process should consider a different type of product.
