Photoshop Polar Coordinates or Polar Coordinates moves the pixels to convert a rectangular image into a circular image or vice versa. It can create cylindrical anamorphosis art and planet effects. Its options are rectangular to polar or polar to rectangular.

Polar Coordinates work on 8 Bit, 16 Bit, 32 Bit, RGB (red, green, and blue), grayscale, CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and key), and Multichannel images, and Smart Objects. These filters launch another window with options.

Polar Coordinates are part of Adobe Photoshop's Extended Filters.
