Brackets and HDR

Brackets, merged for you.

Drone apps save bracketed shots as separate files and stitch spheres into soft JPEGs. LuxFold does the finishing work on the phone you already fly with.

Every set, found and mergedLuxFold finds every 3, 5 or 7 shot set on its own, lines the frames up, removes ghosts from moving things and merges them. Natural or true HDR, with a slider for each frame and a live preview.

More pop, less workA finishing stage clears haze, sets black and white points and adds clarity and color. Suggestions offer one-tap fixes, like holding a bright sky or leveling a horizon.

Hands off when you want itWith Auto-stack on, new bracket sets from your downloads are merged and saved to an album by themselves. Process a whole flight in one go, even with the screen locked.

Lossless mastersMasters save as 16-bit TIFF, 16-bit PNG or 32-bit OpenEXR. Sharing picks the right size and format for you, and leaves your location out unless you turn it on.

360 spheres

Planet to Sphere to Rabbit Hole.

Your drone's sphere is more than a picture to scroll around in. LuxFold edits it, curls it into planets and turns it into video you can post the same day.

The same sphere as a wide view, a double rainbow over farmland — Sphere

The same sphere turned into a rabbit hole, the sky inside a ring of trees — Rabbit Hole

Spheres and tiny planetsLook around inside a 360 sphere by dragging or moving your phone. Curl it into a tiny planet or a rabbit hole, set spin, zoom and horizon, and export at full resolution.

Edit the sphere tooExposure and Pop work on the whole 360, with Suggestions and Auto edit like a bracket set. The edit carries into the viewer, the planets, the videos and every export.

Made for where you postStory (9:16), Wide (16:9) or Square (1:1), from 10 to 30 seconds. 360 stills keep the metadata that lets social sites show them as a pano you can look around in.

360 video

One 360 photo, a whole video.

Set a few views and the camera flies between them. Or tap one button and LuxFold plans the take.

Spin and Dive InTwo ready-made moves: a slow planet spin, or a dive from high above down into the sphere. Pick a length and tap Create Video.

Your own camera pathSet up to ten views, each with its own look, zoom and planet curl, and LuxFold glides between them. Change the speed of each move, hold on a view, or loop the clip seamlessly.

Make It for MeLuxFold reads the sphere for the horizon, the sun and the subject, then plans a take with zoom-ins, sweeping pans and planet pull-outs. Every tap gives you a new take, and longer clips get more moves.
