What is a(n) SPJ file?

The SPJ (Microsoft ICE Panorama Project) file format is a proprietary container format used by Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor) to assemble multiple images into panoramic pictures. SPJ files usually have the .spj suffix and contain all the necessary data needed for stitching the elements of a panoramic image together.

The SPJ file can also include various editing information, such as cropping, exposure, and color adjustments. When an SPJ file needs to be transferred or stored somewhere else, it must be exported to an image format such as JPEG, TIFF, or PNG.
