Ideal for artists, students and hobbyists who need precision, control and high-quality exports.

✨ Main features

• AR Camera Mode: Overlay an image onto your camera feed in real time, with zoom, flashlight and automatic edge detection (AutoEdge).

• Lightbox Mode: Use your screen as a classic lightbox to draw on physical paper, with adjustable brightness and lockable controls to avoid accidental touches.

• Import from anywhere: Load images from your gallery, clipboard, URL or the app’s built-in library — supports remote and local images.

• Text → Image: Type a description and generate a reference image with different typographic styles and compositions.

• Artistic Filters: Apply sketch, vintage, glitch, cartoon, HDR, pixelate, halftone, vapor, solarize and other filters to get references with optimal contrast for tracing.

• Precise transformations: Pinch to zoom and rotate, drag to move, adjust scale, rotate to preset angles and flip horizontally.

• Edge detection: Adjustable intensity and color invert (black / white) so contours are visible on any surface or lighting.

• Smart grid: Adjust rows/columns, line thickness and color to divide the drawing and help with proportion and composition.

• Erase & undo: Remove unwanted areas from the overlay and undo recent actions to quickly recover previous versions.

• Flexible export: Save as PNG, JPEG, WEBP or PDF with transparent, white or black background — ready for print or digital portfolio.

• Performance & accessibility: Support for light/dark themes, haptic feedback and +25 languages. Toggle “Optimize image” to work up to 4K when you need maximum resolution.

Why SketchCam?

• Built for people who trace and practice: real tools (AutoEdge, grid, exports) designed for an artist’s workflow.

• Balance between quality and performance: options to optimize visuals and processing according to your device.

• Smooth gestures, fast import and precise controls for a professional and simple workflow.

Quick tips

• Use Lightbox Mode + Lock🔒 to place paper on the screen and trace without touching controls.

• Enable AutoEdge in Camera Mode to automatically align and center paper in real scenes.

• If edges are faint or too strong, adjust intensity or apply a high-contrast filter.

• Check the “Basic Concepts” section at first launch to get the most out of the tools.

Includes

• Reference gallery: animals, nature, monuments, dinosaurs, food, space, fantasy and more.

• Preset filters and manual controls (opacity, brightness/exposure, edge intensity).

• Save, share and export high-quality images — ideal for print, portfolio or digital reference.

SketchCam is 100% free. We appreciate your feedback to keep improving the experience for artists worldwide.
