The studio

One photo in. A planet out.

Everything happens live. Move a slider and the world re-forms under your cursor — no render button, no waiting.

Presets

One photo. Five worlds.

Every preset is the same tree — just a different projection. Tap through them to see a floating planet become a tunnel, a horizon, a spiral. Each is a considered starting point you can refine from there.

The tree photo as a Classic Planet — a floating world ringed by sky

The same tree photo turned inside-out into a tunnel looking up at the sky

Planet ↔ Tunnel

Turn the world inside out.

Flip the projection and the ground wraps overhead into a tunnel, the sky pooling at the center. Slide between the two and the horizon rolls across the frame — every frame in between is its own image.

1Drop a photo. A wide landscape works best — anything with a clear horizon.

2Pick a preset or grab the Zoom and Planet sliders to frame the world.

Built for the craft

Small controls. Big range.

Live stereographic engine

A GPU projection redraws the planet every frame as you drag. No render step — just instant worlds.

Seam blend

Ordinary photos aren't 360°. Orbit blends the edges where they meet, so the wrap line disappears.

Twist, shift & flip

Spin the world into a spiral, slide its center, or roll smoothly from planet to tunnel on either axis.

Export to 8K

Render at up to 8192px for prints and wallpapers, or copy the result to the clipboard in one keystroke.

Undo everything

Full undo and redo, snap-to-default sliders, and micro-adjust buttons for dialing in the exact frame.

Drag, drop, paste

Drop a file, open from disk, or paste an image straight from the clipboard to start a new world.

FAQ

Good questions.

Does my photo ever leave my Mac?

No. Every projection runs locally on your Mac's GPU. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored on a server, and Orbit Studio works completely offline. Your images stay yours.

Is there any AI involved?

None. Orbit Studio is a real-time mathematical projection — a stereographic transform — not a generative model. It reshapes the exact pixels of your own photo. There's no AI, no training data, and no invented detail.

Do I need a 360° camera?

No. Orbit Studio is built for ordinary photos. Wide landscapes with a clear horizon work best, and the built-in seam blend smooths the edges where they meet, so everyday vacation shots turn into tiny planets without special equipment.

Is it really a one-time purchase?

Yes. $29.99 once, and Orbit Studio is yours — including future updates. No subscription, no recurring charges, no account required to use it.

What can I export?

Full-quality PNGs at up to 8192px — large enough for prints and wallpapers — with no watermark. You can also copy a finished planet straight to the clipboard and paste it into any other app.

Which Macs are supported?

Orbit Studio runs on macOS 15 Sequoia and later, on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. The projection is GPU-accelerated, so editing stays smooth even at full export resolution.

From the maker

Orbit Studio is the app I always wanted Circular Studio to be. My original ran on OpenGL; this one is rebuilt from the ground up on Apple's Metal, engineered for the speed and displays of modern Macs — so the planet forms the instant you touch a slider.
