Trace & sketch with AR overlay
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Transform any image into a traceable overlay on your camera feed. Perfect for artists, crafters & hobbyists — trace on paper, canvas, or any surface with precision.
ArtTracer — Camera Overlay for Drawing & Tracing
Turn your iPhone or iPad into a powerful tracing tool. ArtTracer overlays any
image onto your live camera feed, letting you trace directly onto paper,
canvas, wood, walls, or any surface.
Whether you're a beginner learning to draw, an artist scaling up a design, a
crafter transferring patterns, or a muralist projecting layouts — ArtTracer helps
you work faster and more accurately. No projector needed, no printing, no
complicated setup.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose an image from your Photo Library or Files
2. Tracer overlays it on your camera feed in real-time
3. Adjust opacity, scale, and position to fit perfectly
4. Trace onto your surface with confidence
TWO TRACING MODES
Normal Mode — Your image floats over the live camera feed. Pinch to resize,
drag to reposition, rotate to angle it. Adjust opacity to see both the
reference and your surface. Control the image or camera layer independently.
AR Mode — Place your image onto a real surface using augmented reality. Scale
it, lock it in place, and trace with the image anchored in 3D space. Perfect
for larger surfaces where the reference needs to stay fixed as you move.
GESTURE CONTROLS
Pinch to scale, drag to reposition, two-finger rotate, and use the opacity
slider to go from subtle to bold. Every gesture feels natural on both iPhone
and iPad.
BUILT FOR iPHONE & iPAD
Fully optimized for every screen size. iPad gives you a larger working view,
while iPhone keeps things portable. Adaptive layouts ensure everything looks
right — no stretched elements, no wasted space.
