The Challenge
In VR, Every Flaw Is 10x More Visible
On a phone screen, a slightly blurry texture is forgivable. But in a VR headset, that same texture is stretched across your entire field of view, magnified, and inches from your eyes. Compression artifacts become distracting smudges. Color banding becomes visible stepping. Low-resolution environment maps break immersion instantly.
AR has its own demands — transparent overlays need pixel-perfect alpha channels, lighting must match the real world, and every asset needs to render instantly on mobile hardware without visible loading.
We understand these XR-specific constraints. Our editors work with headset-calibrated displays and deliver assets that maintain visual fidelity at the extreme resolutions and frame rates immersive experiences demand.

Image Editing Built for Immersive Worlds
From 360-degree environments to UI micro-assets, we cover every visual need VR/AR creators face.
360° Panorama Editing
Seamless stitching correction, exposure balancing, nadir/zenith patching, and color grading for equirectangular panoramas. No visible seams at any head angle.
HDRI Environment Maps
High dynamic range editing for environment lighting. We clean, color-grade, and optimize HDRIs that provide photorealistic lighting and reflections in your 3D scenes.
Texture & PBR Map Editing
Albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, and ambient occlusion maps — cleaned, seamless-tiled, and resolution-matched for real-time PBR rendering in Unity or Unreal.
AR UI & Overlay Assets
Transparent PNG/EXR overlays, HUD elements, and spatial UI assets with pixel-perfect alpha channels. Optimized for real-time compositing on mobile AR hardware.
Skybox & Environment Art
6-face cubemap editing, sky gradients, atmospheric effects, and time-of-day variants. Seamless across all edges for wrap-around VR environments that feel infinite.
Stereoscopic & Depth Editing
Left/right eye stereo pair correction, depth map refinement, and parallax optimization for 3DoF and 6DoF VR content that looks naturally three-dimensional.

XR Creators Love Us
Trusted by Studios Building the Future
"Our Quest game needed 200+ PBR textures cleaned and optimized. Pro Pixel Agency delivered seamless, artifact-free maps that looked incredible in-headset. They understood the difference between screen-quality and VR-quality — most editors don't."
Marcus Lee
Art Director, Nebula VR Games
"We create virtual property tours for luxury real estate. The 360-degree photo editing from Pro Pixel Agency is flawless — perfect exposure blending, no stitching artifacts, and the color accuracy clients demand. Our tour quality tripled overnight."
Sofia Reyes
CEO, ImmerseTours 360
"Building AR apps on mobile means every kilobyte matters. Pro Pixel Agency optimizes our overlay assets to be incredibly small without losing the alpha channel precision we need. Load times dropped 40% and visual quality actually improved."

Questions XR Creators Ask
Do your editors understand PBR material workflows?
Yes. Our XR team understands the full PBR pipeline — albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, AO, height, and emissive maps. We know how each map affects the final material appearance in Unity URP/HDRP and Unreal Engine, and we edit accordingly.
Can you handle 360-degree equirectangular panoramas?
Absolutely. We edit equirectangular projections with full awareness of the distortion characteristics. Seam correction, nadir/zenith patching, exposure blending, and tripod removal — all while maintaining perfect spherical continuity.
What resolution and formats do you support?
We work with resolutions up to 16K and support EXR (16/32-bit), HDR, PNG (8/16-bit), TIFF, PSD, TGA, and DDS formats. We deliver in whatever format your engine pipeline requires — including mip-mapped DDS for DirectX or ASTC-compressed textures for mobile.
Can you optimize textures for mobile VR (Quest)?
Yes — mobile VR is one of our specialties. We understand the strict memory and GPU budgets of Quest and similar standalone headsets. We optimize textures for ASTC compression, create appropriate mip chains, and reduce atlas sizes while maintaining visual fidelity at headset viewing distances.
Can I try before committing?
Of course. Send us 3 assets — textures, panoramas, or overlays — and we'll process them free using our full XR pipeline. Test them in your engine, check them in-headset, and decide. No credit card, no commitment.

Case Study
How a VR Studio Cut Texture Pipeline Time by 60%
Nebula VR Games
Quest & PCVR Game Studio, Austin TX
Nebula VR was building a fantasy RPG for Quest with over 800 unique PBR materials. Their 3-person art team was spending 40% of development time on texture cleanup, seamless tiling, and compression optimization — leaving less time for actual content creation.
After integrating Pro Pixel Agency into their pipeline, they sent raw photoscanned textures and hand-painted maps to us for cleanup, PBR channel generation, seamless tiling, and Quest-optimized compression. Their art team reclaimed 60% of texture pipeline time, shipped the game 2 months ahead of schedule, and the visual quality reviewers specifically called out as "impressive for a standalone headset."

Challenges We Solve
XR Image Problems That Break Immersion
Compression Artifacts in VR
Standard JPEG compression creates blocking and banding that's invisible on screens but glaringly obvious when magnified in a headset at close range.
Artifact-free, lossless-quality delivery
Visible Texture Seams
Tiling textures that look seamless on a flat screen reveal obvious repeat patterns and edge seams when wrapped around 3D objects in VR environments.
Truly seamless tiling at any viewing angle
360° Stitching Errors
Panoramic stitching software leaves ghosting, parallax errors, and exposure mismatches at seam lines — breaking the illusion when users look around.
Manual seam correction, zero ghosting
GPU Memory Blowouts
Unoptimized textures eat GPU VRAM instantly on standalone headsets. One 4K uncompressed texture can use 64MB — you only have ~6GB total on Quest.
ASTC compressed, mip-mapped, budget-aware
Color Banding in HDR
8-bit environment maps show visible stepping in sky gradients and smooth surfaces. In VR, color banding is amplified and distracting, especially in dark scenes.
16/32-bit HDR with smooth gradients
Alpha Channel Fringing
AR overlays with imperfect alpha channels show ugly white fringing around transparent edges. On real-world backgrounds, this instantly breaks the AR illusion.
Pixel-perfect alpha with premultiplied edges
