Getting started

AR Drawing is not a drawing canvas โ€” you draw on real paper. Pick a template or one of your own photos, point the camera at your sheet, and the app shows the template on top of the live view. You look at the screen and draw what you see onto the paper underneath.

Common questions

The template drifts while I draw

Prop the phone on a stand so it cannot move, then tap Lock on the drawing screen once the template sits where you want it โ€” locked, the overlay ignores accidental drags and pinches. If the phone later tilts away from the angle it started at, a Hold the phone flat warning appears; settle it back into position and tap Calibrate to make that the new reference.

Do I have to pay to use my own photo?

No. Importing a photo from your library or taking one in the app is free, and so is turning it into a contour template. Opacity, grid, mirror, freeze, flash, focus lock and the brightness and contrast controls are all free as well.

My project wasn't saved

The free version keeps three saved projects. Once you reach that limit, new sessions are not added automatically โ€” swipe a finished project left in Projects to delete it, or subscribe to Pro for unlimited projects.

Where are my drawings stored?

Entirely on your device โ€” there is no account and nothing is uploaded. The practical consequence: deleting the app deletes your projects, and they cannot be recovered. Export anything you want to keep to your photo library from the share screen first.

The camera preview is black

Check that camera access is allowed โ€” open the Settings app, find AR Drawing in the list of apps, and turn Camera on. If another app or a call is using the camera the preview pauses and resumes by itself once it is free; if it failed to start altogether, the drawing screen offers a retry.

My phone gets warm during long sessions

The drawing screen runs the camera continuously and keeps the display awake, so some warming is normal โ€” the app lowers the frame rate on its own when the device gets warm and tells you it did. To keep it cooler from the start, turn on Settings โ†’ Battery saver or pick a lower Frame rate.

Can I change the app language?

Yes โ€” Settings โ†’ Language, and it applies immediately without restarting. Twenty-eight languages are fully translated.

How do I get rid of the watermark on exports?

Exports made without Pro carry a small AR Drawing mark along the bottom edge. Removing it is one of the things a Pro subscription unlocks.

Pro & subscriptions

What does Pro unlock?

I bought Pro but still see ads / locked features

Open Settings โ†’ Restore purchases, signed in to the same Apple Account that made the purchase. Purchases belong to the Apple Account rather than to the device, so a restore is also what you need after switching phones.

How do I cancel or change my subscription?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not inside the app: Settings app โ†’ your name โ†’ Subscriptions. Cancelling there stops the next renewal; you keep Pro until the end of the period you already paid for. Refund requests also go through Apple, at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Privacy & data

Nothing you draw or import leaves your device. Ads (AdMob) and crash and usage statistics (Firebase) are the only things that talk to a server, and neither ever receives your images โ€” the full details are in the Privacy Policy.

You can turn off personalised advertising at any time from Settings app โ†’ Privacy & Security โ†’ Tracking. Where local law requires a consent form, the app also offers Settings โ†’ Privacy options to change your advertising consent.
