TraceLens: AR Drawing Assistant & Digital Overlay
Transform your phone into a professional tracing tool.

Unlock your creative potential with TraceLens, the professional AR drawing assistant designed for artists, hobbyists, and students. Whether you are a beginner learning proportions or a professional managing complex commissions, TraceLens provides the perfect bridge between your digital reference and your physical canvas.

By using your device’s camera to project images onto any surface—paper, canvas, or even walls—TraceLens makes the sketching process faster, more accurate, and more enjoyable.

Powerful Features for Every Artist

Real-Time AR Overlay: Use your camera to overlay any reference image onto your drawing surface. Adjust the opacity to see both your reference and your pencil strokes simultaneously for perfect accuracy.

Precision Perspective Grid: Take the guesswork out of complex angles. Our adjustable perspective grid overlay helps you maintain correct proportions and architectural accuracy in every sketch.

Mirror and Flip Tools: Instantly flip your reference image horizontally or vertically. This is a vital tool for checking drawing symmetry or creating mirrored designs.

Canvas Lock (Drawing Mode): Prevent accidental touches and screen shifts. Once your reference is positioned, lock the UI so you can focus entirely on your pen and paper without the interface getting in the way.

Integrated Flashlight Toggle: Do not let poor lighting stop your flow. Toggle your device's flashlight directly within the app to illuminate your work area and see your lines clearly.

Time-Lapse Recording: Capture your creative journey from the first stroke to the final detail. Export high-quality time-lapse sequences of your drawing process to share with your audience.

Project Save and Resume: Never lose your progress. Save your active projects—including your specific image placement, grid settings, and zoom levels—to pick up exactly where you left off.
