The Panorama Factory project file

File type category:
Graphics file

Date updated: September 24, 2026

The Panorama Factory, developed by Smoky City Design, uses PAN files to save panorama projects. The software combines photographs to create panoramic images, and the project file preserves the information needed to continue working on a project.

A PAN file can contain the project's arrangement and processing information, including settings used to assemble the source photographs. It is part of the Panorama Factory project workflow and is not intended to be used as a general-purpose image file.

The format is associated with the Windows and Mac versions of The Panorama Factory. It is a proprietary project format, so its contents are best handled by the corresponding software. The associated MIME type is application/x-pan.

How to open pan file?

Open the .pan file in The Panorama Factory on Microsoft Windows, or in The Panorama Factory for Mac on macOS. Use the program's Open command and select the project file.

If the file does not open, use the version of The Panorama Factory that created it or a compatible version. Other image viewers generally cannot open PAN project files as images.

How to convert pan file?

A PAN file is a project file, so it is not normally converted directly to another image format. Open it in The Panorama Factory and use the program's image export function to create a finished panorama in an image format supported by the software.

Keep the PAN file if the project may need further editing; exporting the panorama does not provide an equivalent editable project file in another format.
