About this app

Turn your phone into a tracing lightbox. Open any image, lock the screen, put paper on top, and draw.

Papercopy makes it easy to copy a picture from your screen to paper with a pencil or pen. No printer, no lightbox, no special tools — just your phone or tablet and a sheet of paper.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick an image from your gallery, camera, or the built-in Explore library
2. Zoom, rotate, and move it until it sits exactly where you want
3. Lock the canvas so the screen doesn't shift while you draw
4. Place your paper over the display and trace the lines through it

FEATURES
- Lock screen – blocks touches so the image stays put under the paper
- Precise zoom, rotate and pan – size the image to fit your paper
- Brightness and contrast controls – makes lines visible through thicker paper
- AI trace-ready images – describe what you want and get a clean outline to trace
- Explore – hundreds of ready-made drawings, animals, characters, patterns and lettering
- Works on phones and tablets

WHO USES PAPERCOPY
- Kids learning to draw and parents who want an easy, screen-light activity
- Artists and illustrators transferring sketches, references and outlines
- Hand-lettering, calligraphy and tattoo stencils
- Teachers, crafters, embroidery, woodworking and cake decorating templates
- Anyone who wants to copy a photo, logo or drawing to paper quickly

Tracing is one of the oldest ways to learn to draw — it trains your hand and eye before you draw freehand. Papercopy just removes the friction.

Ratings and reviews

YES! I can finally trace without everything shaking and opening random tabs. I also like that I can turn the photo! Zooming is helpfull too. It does everything it says it seoes and more! My one problem is that you can't zoom out. (not really related but) I think every app should have like a digital suggestions box so people don't have to waste a review talking about what is not part of the game enstead of what is.

Omg! I cant believe I spent all that time struggling to trace from my phone! This app is beyond amazing! For those who aren't sure if they should get it, this is what it does: it brightens the screen so you can chose any picture from your phone and easily trace it, it locks the screen so you don't move it and it doesn't go crazy, and lastly, its super easy to use and you can zoom into the pictures a whole lot! Hope this helps!! GREAT APP 🥳🥳🥳🥳

perfect just what I was looking for. an app, that I can put my phone under, with a picture on the screen, plain paper ONTOP of it, screen lit up bright - and the ability to lock the screen so that you it doesn't move while youre tracing!!! it's awesome! Just save what you want to trace to your gallery, select it within the Paper copy - Tracer app , lock the screen & get to creating your beautiful art💗.
