Art Tracer

Trace anything.
Anywhere.

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a precision tracing tool. Overlay any image on your live camera and draw it onto paper, canvas, wood, walls — any surface.

The simplest way to trace

No projector. No printing.
No complicated setup.

Step 01

Pick an image

Choose any photo from your library or Files — a portrait, a logo, a sketch.

Step 02

Line it up

It overlays on your live camera in real time. Pinch to scale, drag, rotate, dial in opacity.

Step 03

Trace with confidence

Follow the guide straight onto your surface. What you see is what you draw.

Two ways to trace

Two modes. Both remarkable.

Float your reference over the camera, or lock it into the real world with AR. Whatever you're making, there's a mode for it.

Camera mode.
Instant overlay.

Your image floats over the live camera feed. Pinch to resize, drag to reposition, rotate to angle it — and adjust opacity to see both the reference and your surface at once. Control the image and camera layers independently for a perfect line-up.

AR mode.
Locked to your world.

Place your image onto a real surface with augmented reality. Scale it, lock it in place, and trace with the reference anchored in 3D space — so it stays put as you move around. Ideal for large surfaces, murals and walls.
