Trace any image onto real paper with AR — the easy way to learn to draw

TraceMate turns your phone into an augmented-reality light box. Point your camera at paper, see any photo or drawing as a live overlay, and trace it by hand — no printing, no grid, no expensive light pad. It runs in your browser on iPhone, Android, iPad, and desktop, with nothing to install.

How it works — four easy steps

1. Upload or pick any image.
2. Point your phone camera at your paper.
3. See the outline overlaid on the page.
4. Trace it by hand with your favorite tools.
