Turn your phone into a tracing canvas.
SketchMirror is a minimalist AR drawing tool — it overlays a semi-transparent reference image on your camera's live view, so you can look at the screen and trace on paper. Even with zero drawing experience, you can produce a decent piece. No projector needed, no light box needed, just your phone.
[AR Tracing in Three Simple Steps]
Step one: Prop your phone above your paper and pen (a cup, a mug, or a stack of books all work).
Step two: Pick an image from the library.
Step three: Adjust the opacity, look at the screen, and trace on paper.
That simple.
[Curated Library, Eight Categories]
We have carefully organized eight categories: Animals, Cars, Anime, Nature, Food, People, Flowers, and Cartoons. Every line drawing is hand-picked by our designers — clean lines, trace-friendly. Whether you want to draw a cute cat, a cool sports car, or a gentle flower, you will find a suitable reference here.
[Overlay Controls, Fully Adjustable]
Reference image opacity from 0 to 100% — turn it up to see clearly, turn it down to focus on your own strokes. Pinch with two fingers to scale and rotate, flip horizontally or vertically for mirroring. Once you have the perfect angle, tap lock — the reference image stays put, and you can focus on tracing.
[3-Step Onboarding, No More Confusion]
Not sure how to start on your first open? We have prepared a clear 3-step guide: prop your phone, pick an image, adjust opacity. Every step comes with an illustration and a highlighted hint. Even a complete beginner or a grandparent who is not tech-savvy can follow along easily.
[Built-in Flashlight, Draw in Low Light]
Got inspired at night but the lighting is too dim? SketchMirror has a built-in flashlight toggle — one tap to turn on your phone's torch and illuminate your paper. The state is remembered automatically, so the next time you enter AR mode, it restores without re-setting.
[Screen Tracing Mode, No Stand Needed]
No cup or phone stand around? Switch to Screen Tracing mode — lay your paper flat on the phone screen, the screen displays a flipped line drawing at maximum brightness, and you trace directly on the lines showing through the paper. Draw in any scenario, with no extra tools.
