## Description

Trace any photo onto paper using your phone's camera. Just prop up your phone, look through the screen, and draw!

PhotoTrace turns your iPhone into a tracing tool. Pick a photo, and it overlays on your live camera feed so you can trace it onto paper.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose a photo from your library
2. Prop your phone above your paper
3. Look through the screen and trace what you see

ADJUST THE OVERLAY
• Drag, pinch-to-zoom, and rotate to position the image
• Adjust opacity so you can see both the image and your paper
• Flip horizontally or vertically
• Lock the overlay in place while you trace

FILTERS
• Edge detection, line art, and high contrast filters
• Adjustable filter intensity to get the look you need

PRECISION TOOLS
• Alignment grids (3×3, 6×6, 12×12)
• Corner brackets to help realign if your phone or paper gets bumped
• Undo and redo

EXTRAS
• Flashlight control for extra brightness
• Front and back camera support
• Screen stays awake during tracing

No account required. No internet needed. No subscription. Just trace.
