Paper lock keeps your picture on the page.
Nudge the phone, lean in or cover a corner with your hand. Clear art finds the four corners of your sheet and keeps the drawing on it.
For iPhone
Trace any picture onto real paper.
Clear art shows your picture over your paper through the camera, so you can draw the lines with a real pencil. Your photos, our drawings or your own words.
Tracing is free forever, with no timer.

How it works
Three steps, one pencil.
1
Pick any picture.
Your photos, our drawings or your own words. Anything you can see, you can trace.
2
Hold the phone above your paper.
Rest it on a glass, a stack of books or a stand, about 20 to 30 cm up. The paper should fill the screen.
3
Trace it with a real pencil.
The picture floats over your paper. You draw the lines, for as long as you like.
Features
Made for tracing that lines up.
Turn any photo into clean lines.
Line art removes the background and draws the outlines, with a slider for more or less detail. It all happens on your phone.
Trace words and lettering.
Type it, pick a font and trace it onto a card, a sign or a cake. Letters can be shown as outlines.
Learn step by step. PRO
One stage at a time, so the shape comes before the detail. Artists also get strobe and value layers.
A library at three levels.
Drawings across 12 categories, from animals to mandalas. Start at the level that suits you and browse them all.
