How Simple AR works
- 1
Pick a picture
Upload your own photo or take one of our sketches. It never leaves your phone.
- 2
Prop up your phone
Rest it on a glass or a stack of books, about 25 cm (10 in) above the paper.
- 3
Trace the lines
Watch the screen and draw on the paper. Lock the picture so a stray touch does not move it.
What you need
- A phone or tablet with a camera
- Paper – textured fits better
- A pencil or a marker
- Good light – near a window is the best option
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Simple AR has no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many pictures you trace.
In Simple AR the browser can only lay the picture over the camera, so the phone has to stay still. PRO AR in the Sketchar app tracks the paper and keeps the picture on it while you move.
No. The picture is opened right on your phone and is never sent to a server.
Any recent iPhone or Android phone with Safari or Chrome. Allow camera access when the browser asks.
Rest it on a glass, a jar or a stack of books so the camera looks straight down at the paper. Then lock the picture and only touch the pencil.
