Trace any picture on paper with your camera, or turn a photo into a sketch.
Read full description
Trace Anything puts a picture on your paper through the phone camera so you can trace it line by line. Pick a photo, a template or a search result, place the phone above your sheet, adjust the opacity and start drawing. It works like tracing paper that you can move, resize and lock.
HOW AR TRACING WORKS
1. Choose an image from your gallery, the built-in templates or the image search
2. Rest the phone on a stand, a cup or a stack of books above the paper
3. Line up the picture, set the opacity and lock it so it does not drift
4. Trace the outline on paper, then add your own shading and colour
PHOTO TO SKETCH
• Turn a photo into a pencil sketch, outline or line art in one tap
• Several sketch styles so you can pick the amount of detail
• Save the sketch to your gallery or trace it straight away
TEMPLATES FOR PRACTICE
• Animals, portraits, anime-style characters, flowers, vehicles, objects and more
• Beginner-friendly outlines for daily practice
• Search for a reference image without leaving the app
RECORD AND SHARE
• Record a time-lapse of your drawing process
• Save finished work in high quality and share it
GOOD TO KNOW
• You need a flat surface, paper and a way to hold the phone steady; a simple stand or a cup works
• The camera is used only to show the paper under the picture; nothing is uploaded from it
• Some templates and sketch styles are part of the Premium upgrade, which is optional
Whether you are learning to draw, sketching a tattoo design or copying a reference for a project, tracing with the camera helps you get proportions right and build confidence with every drawing.
