Variable image projection for spherical visual content may be provided by obtaining visual information defining an image of the spherical visual content and a field of view for the spherical visual content. A location of a projection point may be determined based on the field of view. A two-dimensional projection of the spherical visual content may be determined by projecting pixels of the image within the field of view to the two-dimensional projection plane. Individuals pixels of the image may be projected along individual projection lines including the projection point and the individual pixel. Presentation of the two-dimensional projection of the spherical visual content may be effectuated.
