About Tracing Camera
No ads, no account. Trace your own photos for free, start to finish. Tracing Camera shows your reference picture on top of the live camera view of your paper, so you can copy it with a pencil while watching the screen. It does not project light onto the paper — you look at the screen and draw on the paper underneath. No printed markers needed, ever. FREE, WITH NO LIMITS • Use your own photos (Photos, Files, paste, URL, or the share sheet) • Position lock. While locked, nothing moves — not a stray finger, not the focus, not a single pixel. Only a long press on the lock releases it • Scale in 1% steps and move in 1px steps, no pinching required • Setup guide: "You're at 22 cm. Raise the phone 10 cm more to fit all of A4." It also shows how to reach that height with things you already have, like glasses or books • Reference opacity, brightness and contrast, inverted view, and tap-to-lock focus • Save one reference (delete it to swap in another) UNLOCK WITH PRO • Tiles: split the picture into 2×2 or 3×3 and trace one section at a time — draw bigger than A4 • Unlimited saved references you can pick, reorder and delete • Grid and anchor marks: mark the same points on your paper and snap back if anything shifts • Outline-only view (smooth or detailed) YOUR FIRST DRAWING Choose a reference → place your device → trace. The screen shows only the next step. PRIVACY Camera images and references never leave your device. No tracking. Works on iPhone and iPad. ■ Pricing and auto-renewal - Pro Monthly (3-day free trial) - Pro Yearly (3-day free trial) - Pro Lifetime: one payment for all of today's paid features, for good Your local price is shown before you buy.

What’s new
Version 1.0.4 · Updated October 27, 2026
• The screen stays on while you trace. • When you lock the position, the bottom row switches to "Look". Tap the eye to hide the reference for a moment and check what's left to draw. • Choose black, red, or blue for outline lines. • Turn on the light from the "…" menu. • Rotate the reference with two fingers. Size snaps to 100% and rotation to every 90°. • Hold the arrow and ± buttons to keep moving. "Reset position" can now be undone. • On iPad, drag an image in from another app.
