Panoweaver is desktop panorama-stitching software for photographers, virtual-tour creators, and businesses producing panoramic imagery. It runs on Windows and macOS, with automatic stitching for spherical, cubic, cylindrical, Little Planet, and gigapixel panoramas. Camera RAW and 16-bit image support make it suitable for image-heavy workflows, while manual matching-point insertion and editing provide additional control when automatic alignment needs adjustment. Its publishing features also extend beyond image export to panorama formats including HTML5, Flash VR, and SWF.

Pricing is structured around two one-time editions. Panoweaver 10 Standard Edition costs $149.95 and includes automatic stitching, the supported panorama types, RAW and 16-bit image support, panorama publishing, and export to JPEG, PNG, TIF, BMP, and PSD. Panoweaver 10 Professional Edition costs $399.95 and adds batch stitching, batch publishing, HDR processing, batch HDR integration, tripod removal, masking, and adjustments for exposure, contrast, and seams. A downloadable trial is available with a watermark and popup limitations, rather than as a perpetual free plan.

The main distinction is workflow depth: Standard covers core stitching and publishing, while Professional is aimed at repeated production work that benefits from batch processing and additional correction tools. GPU-accelerated stitching is listed among the product features, and the combination of RAW import, HDR support, manual points, masking, and multiple output formats gives Panoweaver a broad panorama-focused toolkit. It suits users who need desktop control and professional publishing options across Windows and macOS. Those seeking a free perpetual plan or a narrower, lower-cost panorama tool should look elsewhere.
