Turn your phone into an art projector. Trace any photo onto real paper and draw like a pro — no drawing skills needed.
Tracora is an AR drawing app that projects any image onto your paper through your camera. Put your phone on a stand, look at the screen, and follow the lines with your pencil. That is it. Trace, sketch and paint anything in minutes.
HOW AR TRACE DRAWING WORKS
1. Pick a picture from our template library or import a photo from your gallery
2. Place your phone on a stand, a stack of books or a glass table above your paper
3. Adjust opacity and zoom, then lock the screen so the image stays perfectly still
4. Trace the outline with your pencil and watch your drawing appear

WHY TRACORA
Traditional tracing needs a light box, tracing paper or an art projector that costs real money. Tracora replaces all of it with the phone already in your pocket. Our AR drawing engine keeps the image locked to your paper so your lines stay accurate from the first stroke to the last.
Whether you want to draw anime, sketch a portrait, copy a logo, design a tattoo or simply relax with a pencil, this trace drawing app makes it simple.
LEARN TO DRAW, NOT JUST TRACE
Tracing builds muscle memory and teaches proportion, the same technique artists have used for centuries. Follow our step by step drawing tutorials, practise a little every day, and watch your freehand sketching improve.
TIPS FOR THE BEST RESULT
- Use a phone stand, a stack of books or a glass table for stability
- Draw in even lighting so your hand does not cast a shadow on the paper
- Start with simple outlines, then add shading and colour
- Lower the opacity once you feel confident, and trace less every session
