Trace any photo onto paper.
PencilLight shows your picture see-through on the camera, right over the page. Look at the screen and follow the lines with your pencil.
How it works
Pick a picture
Choose a photo, take a new one, or start from a built-in template.
Set up your phone
Hold it 20–40 cm above the paper. A stand, a stack of books or a tall glass keeps it steady.
Trace
Lock the image in place and draw. The screen stays awake while you work.
Made for clean lines
Smart outlines
On-device subject detection removes the background and turns your photo into clear lines to follow.
Choose the parts
Paint over just the face, the flower or the logo you want, and outline only that.
Step by step
Start with the main shapes, then add features and fine detail one step at a time.
