Which files do you need?
DJI describes two panorama modes for the Osmo Pocket series: 180° captures four photographs, and 3×3 captures nine. Those overlapping photographs are the input to this workflow. For a fresh alignment, you need more than the stitched preview.
Find the unstitched capture on the camera's card or storage and copy the complete set to your computer. Transfer instructions and original-saving options can vary with the Pocket model and firmware. DJI documents a USB connection to a PC for the original Osmo Pocket; use the appropriate instructions for your own device.
You may still need Mimo for activation or device updates. This guide avoids Mimo for post-capture stitching, rather than replacing the camera's setup tools.
Make the first stitch
- Open the stitcher in desktop Chrome or Edge.
- Add the four or nine photographs from a single capture.
- Wait for source details to load. Check whether any DNG is marked Preview used.
- Align the images and inspect the result before changing the frame.
A 3×3 panorama is a multirow photograph, not a full 360° sphere. Keep the output suited to the area you captured. The app's automatic projection is a useful starting point, and you can select a different projection without re-aligning.
Frame a 180° view or a 3×3 photograph
For a wide sweep, compare cylindrical and equirectangular projections. Rectilinear can suit a narrower crop, but stretches the edges when asked to cover an extremely wide view. Perspective view lets you choose a smaller direction and field of view from the aligned panorama.
Use Level to straighten the horizon. Pan moves the panorama beneath the stationary frame. Edit frame changes the output rectangle. Fit canvas and 100% detail are inspection controls; they do not change what you export.
Choose a crop that avoids uncovered edges, or preserve those gaps in a transparent PNG or TIFF. A tree or person that moved between captures may still need attention at a seam.
Keep source quality visible
The app reads original DJI DNG sensor data first, keeping source detail for the stitch and high-depth export. Osmo Pocket and Osmo Pocket 3 offer JPEG and DNG photo options; save the individual originals for your desktop workflow.
If an embedded preview is used after a failed original decode, the app shows its actual dimensions and depth. Keep the orange warning in mind when choosing an export: a high-depth container does not turn that preview back into RAW.
Export JPEG for a quick share, or 16-bit TIFF for an editing master. Save a project recipe and keep the originals if you want to revise the stitch later.
