Panoramic 3D reconstruction is essential for immersive scene understanding in robotics, AR, and autonomous driving. However, most existing methods are designed for pinhole images and generalize poorly to 360° inputs due to the scarcity of panoramic training data and the high cost of retraining. We present Pano3R, the first training-free framework for panoramic 3D reconstruction that adapts existing pinhole-based models without any retraining. Pano3R consists of two stages. Specifically, the pre-processing stage applies a position-aware pairing strategy to decompose each panorama into a minimal set of perspective views. These views are selected to ensure sufficient co-visible regions while minimizing the number of projections. The test-time optimization stage incorporates a pose-prior-guided global alignment strategy to improve global consistency and mitigate accumulated errors. Our method enables accurate 360° reconstruction under both single- and multi-view input conditions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Pano3R consistently improves reconstruction accuracy and pose estimation quality, establishing a strong and practical benchmark for training-free panoramic 3D reconstruction.
