Trace any image onto paper using your phone camera as a live guide.
TraceCanvas turns your phone into a tracing tool ā place it above a sheet of paper, load any reference image, and trace directly onto the paper while watching the transparent overlay through the screen. Perfect for artists, kids learning to draw, handprint keepsakes, lettering practice, and anyone who wants to transfer an image to paper accurately. āāā HOW IT WORKS āāā Place your phone on a stand or holder above paper. Import a photo or drawing from your gallery. It appears as a semi-transparent overlay on the live camera view. Adjust position, size, and rotation with your fingers, then trace what you see onto the paper below.
