Drawing Projector vs Tracer

Turn any photo or template into traceable line art — then project it live through your camera onto paper and trace with a real pencil. Drawing Projector: AR Trace converts your image to clean edge art on-device (no internet required), then overlays it semi-transparent over your live camera feed. Position your phone above the paper, adjust opacity, lock the frame, and trace stroke by stroke — just like a classic drawing projector, right from your pocket. CORE FEATURES • Camera lightbox overlay — project any image as transparent line art onto paper • Opacity & lock controls — dial in the perfect trace opacity, freeze the frame while you draw • Flashlight & grid — illuminate your paper and keep proportions true • Photo to line art — convert any photo to traceable edges, entirely on-device • Built-in template library — anime characters, animals, flowers, and more to start instantly • Timelapse recording — every tracing session is captured frame-by-frame; export your draw-with-me video and share it • Daily draw streak — build a habit with a streak counter and local reminder each day • Progress gallery — before/after view of every finished project WORKS OFFLINE Import, convert, trace, and export your entire session in Airplane Mode. All processing is on-device. Creative tracing aid — camera lightbox for drawing. See Settings → Legal for full disclaimer. EULA - https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Tracer turns your iPhone into a tracing tool. Pick any image, anchor it onto a real surface in augmented reality, and trace over it by hand — on paper, on canvas, or on a wall. No projector. No light box. No printing and taping. Your first 5 images are free. After that, Tracer unlocks with a Tracer Yearly subscription — $9.99/year, auto-renewing, cancel anytime in Settings. HOW IT WORKS Point your iPhone at the surface you want to draw on. Pick a reference image from your photos. Tap the surface to anchor it in place. The image stays locked to that exact spot in the real world while you draw. DIAL IN THE OPACITY Slide from barely-there to fully opaque. Keep it faint to check your proportions, or bring it up to follow every line. You see exactly what you're tracing, and exactly what you've already drawn. POSITION IT EXACTLY Pinch to scale, twist to rotate, drag to move. Once it's where you want it, lock it — your hand can rest on the phone without knocking the reference out of alignment. BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS The screen stays awake while you trace, so it won't sleep mid-drawing. Close the app and come back later: Tracer remembers your reference, its position and your opacity setting, and puts everything back where you left it. Working in low light? There's a built-in flashlight. MADE FOR • Illustrators working from reference • Tattoo artists placing a stencil • Muralists scaling a design up to a wall • Lettering and calligraphy • Anyone learning to draw PRIVACY Tracer has no servers, no analytics, no accounts and no ads. The camera feed is processed on your device and never recorded. Your reference image never leaves your iPhone. Tracer doesn't even ask for photo library permission — it uses Apple's system picker, which hands over only the single image you choose. Requires an ARKit-capable iPhone running iOS 16 or later.
