TraceCam vs Tracing Camera

TraceCam turns your iPhone or iPad into a tracing overlay. Pick a photo, a built-in template or your own text, point the camera at a blank sheet of paper, and the image appears over the paper as a translucent layer — ready to trace with a pencil. No printing, no light box, no transfer paper. Just your device, your reference and a sheet of paper. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a photo, pick a template or type a word. 2. Point the camera at a blank sheet. 3. Line the image up with the paper — pinch to scale, drag to move, twist to rotate. 4. Set the opacity, choose a filter, add a grid if you like. 5. Lock it, and trace. FILTERS THAT MAKE TRACING EASIER • Line art keeps only the edges of a photo on a transparent background • Sketch, Grayscale and Ink turn a busy photo into clean strokes • Invert for light lines on dark paper • Flip horizontally or vertically GRID METHOD • Square grid over the camera view or attached to the reference, from 2×2 to 12×12 • Copy the drawing cell by cell, the way artists have done for centuries BUILT-IN TEMPLATES • 35 templates: basic shapes and solids, face and figure proportions, one- and two-point perspective, golden spiral, mandala, ellipse guide, isometric and dot grids, lettering lines, calligraphy slant, comic panels and patterns LETTERING • Type any word or name, choose one of 22 typefaces and get an outline to trace — for cards, signs, posters and calligraphy practice CAMERA TOOLS • Zoom in on the paper, switch the torch on, freeze the frame • Save a snapshot of the paper with the overlay to Photos to compare your progress YOUR PROJECTS • Every image is kept with its position, opacity and filter, so you can pick up where you left off • Reopen recent projects from the library, or paste an image from the clipboard AND MORE • Opacity slider from 10% to 90% • Lock the image so a stray touch cannot move it while you trace • The screen stays awake while you draw • The control panel folds away so nothing covers the paper • Portrait and landscape, iPhone and iPad PRIVATE BY DESIGN TraceCam has no networking features at all. The camera feed is only shown on screen — never recorded, never saved, never uploaded. A snapshot is written to Photos only when you tap the button. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Free. Requires iOS 17 or later.

No ads, no account. Trace your own photos for free, start to finish. Tracing Camera shows your reference picture on top of the live camera view of your paper, so you can copy it with a pencil while watching the screen. It does not project light onto the paper — you look at the screen and draw on the paper underneath. No printed markers needed, ever. FREE, WITH NO LIMITS • Use your own photos (Photos, Files, paste, URL, or the share sheet) • Position lock. While locked, nothing moves — not a stray finger, not the focus, not a single pixel. Only a long press on the lock releases it • Scale in 1% steps and move in 1px steps, no pinching required • Setup guide: "You're at 22 cm. Raise the phone 10 cm more to fit all of A4." It also shows how to reach that height with things you already have, like glasses or books • Reference opacity, brightness and contrast, inverted view, and tap-to-lock focus • Save one reference (delete it to swap in another) UNLOCK WITH PRO • Tiles: split the picture into 2×2 or 3×3 and trace one section at a time — draw bigger than A4 • Unlimited saved references you can pick, reorder and delete • Grid and anchor marks: mark the same points on your paper and snap back if anything shifts • Outline-only view (smooth or detailed) YOUR FIRST DRAWING Choose a reference → place your device → trace. The screen shows only the next step. PRIVACY Camera images and references never leave your device. No tracking.
