Orbit the globe with your mouse or finger; set the auto-spin speed you like.
A subtle rim light and starfield make your image read like a real planet.

No account, no credits, no watermark — just open the page and create.
Looking for a maptoglobe alternative where you can upload an image to a sphere? This is it. Drop any map, photo, texture or piece of artwork and it's pasted straight onto a 3D globe you can spin, zoom and record — no desktop software, no account, and no export limit. Use it like a classic map-to-globe tool by dropping an equirectangular world map to build an interactive globe, or wrap a personal photo to turn it into a custom planet. Because the whole thing runs client-side in your browser, your image never leaves your device — a privacy advantage that server-based globe makers and online map-to-globe converters can't offer. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing watermarked on the way out: the PNG snapshot and WebM clip you download are clean and yours to use. If instead you already have a 360° photo and want to look around from the inside rather than wrap an image on the outside of the sphere, reach for the 360° Panorama Viewer.
Same sphere, opposite viewpoint.
A globe wraps your image on the **outside** of a sphere — you look at it like a planet. A 360° panorama wraps an equirectangular photo on the **inside** of a sphere — you stand in the middle and look around. If you have a normal photo and want a spinning ball, use this tool. If you have an equirectangular 360 shot, use the 360° Panorama Viewer or create one with the Photo to 360° Converter.
An image-to-globe tool turns out to be far more flexible than it first looks. Here are some of the things people build with it:
Wrap a favourite picture, record the WebM as the globe slowly spins, and use the clip as a video intro, a social-media reveal, or the classic "photo wall to globe" transition. The starfield background gives it an instant cinematic, in-space look without any extra editing.
Drop a hand-drawn or AI-generated fantasy map and watch it become a custom planet you can rotate — perfect for a tabletop RPG, a D&D campaign, a game-design doc, or any story world you're mapping out.
Turn a branded world map or a data visualisation into a rotating 3D globe graphic for a presentation, a pitch deck, or a website hero section, then export it as an image or clip.
A painting, a photo of a wall, a satellite image, even a meme — any image becomes the surface of its own little world, ready to spin and download in seconds.
Three steps, no software to install.
Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP. It loads straight into the 3D scene — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Drag to orbit, set the spin speed, and toggle the starfield background on or off.
Export a PNG snapshot, or record a WebM clip of the globe rotating to share anywhere.
Behind the scenes, your picture is loaded as a texture and wrapped around a sphere in WebGL using the same equirectangular projection a world map uses to flatten the Earth. Think of it as an image-onto-sphere projector: the left and right edges of your image meet at the back of the globe, and the top and bottom are squeezed toward the poles. Once you know that, picking an image that wraps cleanly is easy.
For a smooth, seamless globe:
Yes. It's completely free with no account, no credits and no watermark.
No. The globe is rendered in your browser with WebGL, so your image never leaves your device.
JPG, PNG and WebP up to 50MB. For the smoothest wrap, a wide (2:1) image maps most evenly onto the sphere.
A flat photo is wrapped equirectangularly, so the poles compress — that's normal for any image-to-globe tool. A 2:1 panorama-style image minimises it.
Yes. Export a PNG still, or record a WebM (MP4 on Safari) clip of the globe spinning.
A globe is viewed from the outside like a planet; a 360° panorama is viewed from the inside. See the comparison above for which fits your image.
Yes — this is exactly that kind of app, and it runs in the browser with nothing to install. Upload any image and it's wrapped onto a 3D globe you can spin and download.
Yes. Like maptoglobe, you can paste a map or image onto a sphere — but here it's completely free, needs no account, and runs entirely on your own device with no watermark.
Not directly. The tool wraps an existing image onto the globe rather than letting you paint on its surface. To change what's on the globe, edit your image in any editor and upload it again.
There's no live embed export yet. For now, record a WebM of the spinning globe and post that clip, or use the PNG snapshot. A shareable embed is on the roadmap.
Yes. It works in any modern mobile browser that supports WebGL — drag with one finger to spin the globe. Clip recording depends on your phone's browser, so the record button only appears when it's supported.
