Basics

Spherualizer is an app that allows you to transform any 360° photo or video into a story you can play, edit, and share. Spherualizer natively opens 2:1 equirectangular files from any 360 camera—including GoPro, Insta360, DJI, Ricoh Theta, and beyond—and panoramas stitched from multiple DSLR shots or even iPhone panos for a creative twist. Create on iPhone, iPad, or Mac, and enjoy your full 360 library on Apple TV. Spherualizer is the viewer‑editor that makes spherical moments shine on every screen.

In alternative you can enter the Editor by tapping on the icon resembling three horizontal sliders. Then you can switch between tiny planet and rabbit hole effects by using the up-and-down slider located in the tab resembling a 3d rotation sphere.
Yes, just install Spherualizer on Apple TV. Your Spherualizer's gallery and albums are automatically synchronized with iCloud. If you are not using iCloud you can always use the "Connect Apple TV" function from the Spherualizer menu. The currently displayed photo or video will be automatically sent to your Apple TV over the local network.

No—Spherualizer runs perfectly without an internet connection. Just make sure the content you want is stored locally first: either open Settings › Download and keep originals to save your entire gallery, or long-press an individual photo and tap Keep downloaded if you only need a few items. The "Connect Meta Quest" and "Connect Apple TV" features also work offline; they simply require all devices to be on the same local Wi-Fi network (the network itself doesn’t need internet access).
To open the settings menu, tap on the menu symbol in the controls bar and choose Settings.

When you delete Spherualizer data from iCloud you loose the ability to synchronize your Spherualizer gallery among your Apple devices. Moreover, the Spherualizer Gallery will be downloaded to your device, occupying storage space. Please verify you have enough free space before proceeding.

Open Spherualizer and tap on the Menu button, then choose Settings. Disable the Backup and Synchronization switch and tap on Done. The download of the Spherualizer Gallery will be triggered. Please wait for all the Spherualizer Gallery to download on your device.

After the download of your Spherualizer Gallery is completed, you can proceed with iCloud data deletion.

Please verify that you can open all the photos from the Spherualizer Gallery without the need of an internet connection. We are not responsible for any data loss that may occur on the Spherualizer Gallery of your device, after you proceed with the deletion of the Spherualizer Gallery from your iCloud.

To delete the Spherualizer Gallery stored in iCloud, open the Settings app on your iOS/iPadOS device, then tap on your name, then go to iCloud, Manage Account Storage, tap on Spherualizer and choose Delete Data from iCloud. If Spherualizer is not listed on the Manage Account Storage page, it indicates that no data from Spherualizer is stored in iCloud, and you can consider the process complete.
