To save or download a photo from PanoCool Retouch, use Export. It saves the photo to your device with every edit in it: blur, AI edits, and text, icon and image overlays. Export is free, needs no sign-in and adds no watermark. PanoCool Retouch has no Share menu: Share › Download photo and Share › Snapshot are in the Virtual Tour Studio editor.

PanoCool Retouch doesn’t keep your photos or edits, even when you’re signed in. They stay in the browser tab and are gone once you close or reload it, so export before you leave. To carry on another day, open the exported photo in PanoCool Retouch again; the earlier edits are part of the photo by then, so they can’t be undone one by one.

  1. Click Export at the top right of the editor.
  2. Wait while Exporting… shows.
  3. Save the file:
    • A 360° photo on a computer downloads straight away.
    • A flat photo: Export Complete! opens. Click Download.
    • A 360° photo on a phone or tablet: Export Complete! opens. Tap Download, or on an iPhone or iPad tap Share, then Save Image, to put it straight into Photos.
  • The file: the original name with _exported added, such as kitchen_exported.jpg, at the photo’s full size. A 360° photo is saved as a JPEG when the original is a JPEG, and as a PNG otherwise; a flat photo keeps its format (JPEG, PNG or WebP).
  • Photo details: a JPEG keeps the original’s EXIF details, such as the camera and location. A 360° JPEG also gets the 360° details that Facebook and other sites need to show it as a 360° photo.
  • Several open photos: see Export all open photos as a ZIP.
  • This photo’s changes on more photos: to put the same logo, text or other changes on photos from your device, use Batch Sync.
  • A scene in a virtual tour: in the Virtual Tour Studio editor, Retouch Pano in the scene’s menu edits the scene’s photo, and its Save button puts the result back in the tour. See Scene Menu.

Export all open photos as a ZIP

To save every photo you have open at once, each with its own edits:

  1. Open the photos: up to 15 at once, each in its own tab.
  2. Click the arrow next to Export (More export options), then Export All as ZIP. It shows when two or more photos are open.
  3. The ZIP downloads with every open photo under its original file name. Photos without edits go into it as they are.
